Firstly, stop panicking. That's not helping the situation.

Nobody ever gets student finance for the first day of freshers. That's impossible. The uni have to tick you off on the resister and tell student finance you're there, and then student finance has to pay you. So even in the best case scenario you'd be looking at getting your money around a week later.

However, updating bank details doesn't take SFE long to process at all. If it was only the bank details (and no other part of your application) that needed changing, there won't be a delay in payment as long as you did it online.

But if you're not getting any maintenance loan, you don't need to update bank details as nothing goes in your bank account anyway. Tuition fees get paid straight to the uni. So if your edit is correct, wtf are you panicking about?!

Ok he reason I'm panicking is that I was registering online on my account as a student and it said your funding may be late the payment so what does this mean ?
Who should I contact maybe
And what should I ask
I only gave them my bank details so why would they need them
Does this affect my going to uni

Are you sure this is just tuition fees? If so, that does not require your bank details and so this will not cause any problems whatsoever.

If you're confused and you do mean the maintenance loan too, it may cause a delay of maybe a day if you're unlucky.

Well that was a waste of a lot of tears.

Uni are used to late payments. You made it sounds like you were out on the street or into starvation. It doesnt really affect you and SFE will pay the money just fine after you have registered and the uni will be just fine with it.

You have nothing to worry about .

And I've told you many times that if it's a tuition fee loan, it doesn't even need bank details anyway. If you can't understand that simple statement why do you think you're going to cope at uni?

Haha thank you so much- much appreciated I was confused why it's delayed that's it do you know roughly how many days it may take now or should the uni just sort that out

It doesnt matter. Just let the uni know there might be a delay and then go and enjoy freshers. If you dont even need a maintenance loan then you have much less to worry about than most. Check 2-4 weeks after starting.

Do you know what happens when do you get notified that it's all gone through ?
So do I have to do anything now regarding finance ?

Do you have a problem with worrying and anxiety generally?

Its all dragging on this and its a waste of effort for you. Its out of your hand now. Let SFE pay and if they havent sorted it in 2-4 weeks then chase it up.

The uni will be fine.

If youve given sfe all your details then there isnt anything else for you to do unless they request further info. Go and enjoy freshers.
