hey guys,

I am thinking of commuting for my final year. I usually get the full loan. It will be my first time commuting from home as in my previous years, i usually lived on campus. I was just wondering, if i will still receive the full loan, should i decide to stay at my family home and commute?

You should probably let student finance know. Because I don't think you'll be entitled to the full loan amount.

You can use an existing account. I opened a student account because of the interest free overdraft (just in case) and some banks offer you the overdraft a year or two after completing university while finding your feet!

I've been accepted at the Uni I applied for, but I still haven't received my Student Loan confirmation letter. Thing is, I applied in March, but was asked for evidence which I provided, the whole thing dragged for way too long. Now they're waiting for me to provide evidence with regards to my parents' financial situation, which I'm working on (the evidence, I mean), and that should take me about another two-three weeks, and only after that can I send in my final evidence and HOPE for a confirmation letter.

My year starts on the 13th of September, so there's no way I can sort all of this out by then. What's the usual course of action? Is there such a thing as postponing the payment and waiting for Student Finance England to process the application?

I've gone in to set up my co-op student account, but they say it may take 2 weeks for it to be opened. I do have a current account and wondered if it would be best to add those account details to my student finance application and then my accommodation. Or should I just wait the 2 weeks?

Thanks

Can someone please tell me if it's normal for your student finance payment timetable on your homepage to only state the minimum payments.
My dad mentioned that he got a letter ages ago and forgot about it and now I'm worried that they're not taking my household income into account!!!!

I've asked before and no-one answers

It should show actual payments. Ask your dad to fill in the missing part asap and call student finance.

He's such an idiot!!!!
He told me about a week ago laughing about it.
He's lost it now, should I just ask for another one to be sent?

hi,

I'm an EU student, I submitted my application back in May, then had to provide some more residency information but anyway, on my online account I can see that every section is completed. My course starts on the 16th and I'm slightly worried whether SFE will soirt out my tuition fee loan before this date, because I haven't received any confirmation yet. is it normal that they do it just before the course starts?

Have you had confirmation of any of your student finance? If you're just missing confirmation of your tuition fee loan then call them to make sure it's being processed but don't worry about it. It will be months before student finance sends tuition funds to your university so as long as they know that you are eligible and you have applied then you're completely fine!

The status of my application is still "To be completed" and in my next steps section "we have all the information that we need to progress your application". But as I said, it's been over 3 weeks. Also, right now I can't even check my correspondence because I get logged out when I want do to this.

If they have everything then you'll be in the processing queue. You just have to wait it out now.
