Student Finance Applications - Q &amp; A

I'm trying to do the financial information for my dad, and it asks "what was your total income before deductions", but doesn't specify which year. Do I just presume it's 2008/2009? Because the question after that is "Is your household income under £15,000 for 2007/8 and 2008/9", so it confuses me.

I'm trying to link up my parents application with mine but when it asks for the student Alias ID and date of birth it says the information is incorrect...but it's not. do i need to give it time from when i created an application?

I had the same problem. You need to log out of your account. And then get your parent to register a new account specifing that they are a supporter. Then they log in and click support an application, and then you enter the Alias ID and so on.

At the moment you are trying to support your own application. Think of your account as a person. You, your mum and dad are all going to have to register one. Annoying I know...

Each myself, my mum and my dad all have an application, so with three different numbers, passwords etc...then i logged in as my dad and it says apply or support so i obviously click support and then it says 'whose application are you supporting?' and thats when i tried putting in my Alias ID and date of birth and it says its incorrect :frown:

argh it's so confusing!

Ohhh it says your ALIAS ID is incorrect even when using your dad's account? That's definetly an error or something. It should work. Sorry I can't help you any further try calling the SLC on Monday to see what they have to say.

I'm so confused!! How can I work out my taxable unearned income for 2009/2010 when I don't know how much money I'll have at that point? The only income I'll be getting other than Student Loans and grants is EMA and that won't be for the whole year anyway :s-smilie:

Guys need help ASAP!

First of all, it keeps asking if I'd like UCAS to share my details with them-I said yes, it returned me to the application but it asked the same thing again and again and again...On my UCAS however it said that I have already opted into sharing my details with them, so should I just say no now that I come to that part again?

Also, it asks for my application number (UCAS), but requires it to be 9 digits! There is nothing like that on the welcome letter, so what do I do?

Thanks!

Type in uni and course manually.

Although I've completed my section of the application it seems a little pointless to have my parents do theirs at the moment as they won't get the proper financial documentation like P60's etc for months yet assuming they are wanting documents for the tax year April 08 - April 09.
I think opening the applications at this early stage just means they can get to work on some of the non income assessed requests before they get bombarded with paperwork for the income assessed loans.

Yeah, you're probably right, species. I've just done mine because I could be away for the rest of the year, so it's easier to set up all my side, and most of my parents as well before I go.

Taiko - how could you lie to me :frown:

Not sure how much my tuition fees are. What happens if I apply for the max and its more than I have to pay? :confused:

(I am on placement so its all different to normal)

theres a calculator here. you might be able to find out how much your uni charges or at least get to their website

I think the max is £3225 tho

Put 12/10/2009, it has to be in the dd/mm/yyyy form :smile:

It's ok, once it took me a few weeks of trying just to enter a date because I didn't realise that :redface:

It's giving me two options of courses from UCAS. Only one which I have received an offer for, and the my other two offers weren't even options O.o :biggrin:
