    Student Finance, surely set to miss the deadline?
    I look set to miss the deadline for Student Finance by the looks of things, I still have to have someone sign my Birth/Adoption certificate form as my passport expired a while ago and still needs renewed

    I'm aiming to post it all by tomorrow though, so maybe that should get the evidence in by the 31st May but it's very iffy for it to get there in time for 31st May

    If I am to miss the deadline, am I confirmed to miss my first bit of the loan coming in, or will it be okay if they can get the evidence on the day of the deadline or 1 or 2 days after? Are there any stories on here of people who missed the 31st May deadline but still got their loan coming in on time?

    Really worried at the moment, any help appreciated

    Thank you in advance

    If you miss it by just a few days you could still get your Finance on time, but there's no guarantee. It could also go the other way and you could end up getting it more than a few days late. It depends on how many people left it until the deadline and how long it takes to process their applications and how many apply late but before your application gets there.
