can student finance payments be earlier?

im going in to 2nd year next year and i get a house which is contracted to start on 1st july, i dont really know where ill get that money from, can sfe payments be before september?

SFE payments come when SFE wants.

im not sure at all how to fund it, are there any additional sort of loan available?

You can get your payment date changed to be paid earlier but not before you start the academic year (Exception would be students who are studying abroad, they can get paid before September)

so i got paid 26th september last time could i make it so i got paid a few weeks earlier?

Student Finance have a Hardship process via which you can request an early payment. However this is highly unlikely to cover a) a foreseeable situation where you've voluntarily signed a contract which you know you won't be able to afford and b) needing a payment two and a half months before the due date of your next SF Maintenance Loan instalment. Call SF to find out more but it's a really long shot in your case and I definitely wouldn't be optimistic.

Other than the Hardship process and murpo's exception above, you can't get a Maintenance Loan payment any earlier than the official start date of your course's academic year - and even then it may be delayed by your uni's process which confirms your attendance to SF. You can't get a Professional and Career Development Loan for undergrad courses.

ok can you ask them to distribute the amount of loan in different terms?

Will you (or anyone you are contractually sharing with) be in the house from 1st July until your course actually starts? If not it seems a long time for a house to be empty, there might be insurance problems with that...

And regarding getting money "early", perhaps your overdraft can cover it?

The money you were given from SFE in your first year is supposed to last a whole year. You should have been saving from this to pay your first rent instalments, knowing that your contract begins 1st July. The money is supposed to cover you for the summer as well as term time.

Surely you can pay for it out of the instalment you got this month?

yes there will be a few of us in and out of the house during summer, however the problem is that usually student loan is evenly split between the three terms despite this final one im in now only being 4 weeks long therefore ill be completely fine paying it off in the shorter semesters with money to spare its just these first few months, we got on housing abit late and most contracts began 1st july

Your current Maintenance Loan payment is supposed to last you through the summer months until the next academic year. It will be slightly larger than the previous two instalments, but still assumes that you have other income such as a part-time job or help from parents. If you expect to spend all of this term's instalment in four weeks, then your budget needs a major revision.
