Hello,
I applied for a tuition loan (no maintenance fee applied for) on the 3rd of August 2019 and recieved an entitlement letter, with the payment schedules on it, on the 9th of August. However I did not receive a 'Declaration form' and I have read many articles implying that it is necessary to sign this document to receive any funding. Additionally, I am not given any option when signed into my account on the SFE website to sign a declaration form digitally, or to even print one out. The only thing I can see that might have some relevance to a declaration form is the 'Student finance terms and conditions (PDF)', though there is no indication on this document that a signiture is required.
Do I have to wait for the status of my loan on the SFE website to show 'Approved' rather than 'Payments scheduled' as it currently is before I receive or unlock the option to sign a declaration form? Or has SFE made an error in not attaching a declaration form to my entitlement letter?
Any advice would be appreciated.
