It's set by your uni. It should be on your student account.

A couple of weeks after my application was approved I got a notification to say my payment schedule was approved or something like that. If you log in to student finance, it should say PAYMENTS SCHEDULED under your course name and then click Expand and then click view payments

Set by uni, there isnt a specific date. If you go onto your account on SFE, there is something that should say when the payments are expected, but from expierence, the maintanance loans have at times arrived later or earlier than those dates.

I've read that maintenance loans will be paid out 3-4 business days after your university has fully enrolled you (i.e. after any ID checks). For example, my student finance says the first payment of my maintenance loan will go out on Monday the 18th of September, however my ID check occurs on that day, so I'm not likely to get it until the next week. This may be the case for others if when you look at your expected payments it says 'awaiting confirmation' by your maintenance loan dates and amounts.

Are those payments only subject to your ID check? Or do you have to attend an actual class for it to go through? Because I have a family issue which they have let me start later on in the course year which means I miss the first few weeks but I'm relying on that money to buy my books and get to Uni, without it I won't be able to get there :frown:

Depends on your uni. I would suggest asking them.

Regarding books - I wouldn't buy them until you are told by lecturers that you need them. My own uni has a system where lecturers have to provide five books per module that we supposedly need. Whilst some were helpful, simply getting those books from the library when I needed to sufficed.
