Student Finance Applications - Q & A

Am I right in thinking that if I apply for a transfer into 2nd year of another uni in 2012, I'll be paying my normal 3K fees yes?

Hi guys, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I'm having a bit of trouble with student finance. I'm starting my application for 2012/13 and I registered and started inputting info and everything was fine however, I logged out for dinner and now I can log back in but I can't actually access my application, it keeps telling me there's an error with my application. Any advice on how to fix this or should I just give it time? Thanks in advance =]

I want to apply for student finance but I'm going to be living independently when I start uni (as in i'm no longer going to be in contact with my parents). On the student finance website it says evidence must be provided to show that you're no longer in contact with your parents. Does anyone know what kind of evidence they need?

Are you in contact with your parents now? Roughly what kind of thing makes you say you wont be in contact next year?

i'm in contact with them now but because i'm no longer religious, they're going to kick me out next year.

I have just started my SF application for 2012 entry to university. The tuition fee for the course I am applying to is £9,000 - however, the estimates I am given show the maximum applicable tuition fee loan as £3,225, and states that I "will need to pay the remaining £5,775 directly to your university." Does anybody else have this problem? Has the calculator used to generate the estimate not been adjusted for the rise in tuition fees yet?

Hi, I'm a bit confused... do you apply to student finance to your firm choice only or send out applications to all your unis before making a decision? I've got offers from all of mine now
Also, if the uni is givng you a tuition fee waiver, do you put down the amount you will need after the waiver in finance?
Thanks

Many students who may be eligible for a means-tested fee waiver (i.e. a reduced fee based on their income) won’t know their eligibility until their household income is assessed through the Student Finance systems. Students will therefore usually apply for the maximum fee loan available for their chosen course.
When the student’s application for student finance is processed, the fee loan applied for by the student is passed into and displayed in the Student Information System (SIS). SIS will show the fee loan requests made by each student, within 24 hours of their main student finance application being processed.

It is possible that students may introduce fee waivers into the application stage in the following circumstances.

- Some students who believe they are entitled to a fee waiver may apply correctly for the reduced fee loan (having accurately calculated their income beforehand).
- Other students may also apply for a reduced fee, but have incorrectly calculated their income or ignored the need to meet other conditions. Their fee loan is likely to be for the wrong amount.

That would not surprise me with the SLC. They launched the applications 2 months ahead of the original date so I doubt whether theyre ready.

I'm a little confused, when should I apply for a fee loan? Do I have to wait until I have a confirmed place at university (when I'll have all of the exams' results) which will be in late June/earli July or I can apply as soon as I chose my firm and insurance?
