how do i change the university on my student finance form?

I started applying for student finance and I put down the university I thought I wanted to go to, however I hadnt chosen my firm yet. I've since chosen my firm and its a different uni to the one on my student finance form. I've looked all over the website and googled it but i cant find anywhere to change the university choice. any idea how to do it?

I swear it says right on the finance page as I was contemplating changing - if I remember it said to contact them asap - just give them a ringgg :smile:

Pretty sure you can only change by calling not online

If you call up they will tell you what I'm going to tell you now.

You can change anything on your application by completing a paper form and only the sections you want updating, you must also provide a cover letter to explain what you want.

Not yet, but I phoned them and they said once they've recieved my signed declaration form and the whole application has been processed and approved, you'll then get the option online to make changes on your application e.g. course, place of study, amount of loan etc. and they'll reassess it and send you a new entitlement letter. It sounds quite straightforward and simple to me and I really hope this is the case! Because I've read on other threads that you have to sign paper forms and write cover letters but usually it takes a long time to process which leads to delays. I hope thats not the case, they told me it wasnt on the phone but we'll just have to wait and see. I wish I didnt rush into things in the first place now but all we can do now is wait and hope for the best. Good luck with yours and I hope everything sorts out for us both!

I called them and they said 3-4 working days if you have everything sorted but have just changed the Uni. Its been over 4 and no change, am not surprised tbh, I'm going to call them monday

Oh dear that's not good it had said it may take 6 weeks for the changes but my friend had said it took 2 weeks for her entitlement letter to come through.
