What is an ART ID?

KR2004

Can somebody here please tell me what an ART ID is? (In the student loan application)
I'm starting university this year and the form asks for an ART ID "if you have one", is this just for people who are re-applying or should I have one?
If I should have one, how do I get one?

Thanks.

You won't have one yet, cos it's just for returning students (I think).

Hello, you don't need to write one down. You are given an ART number once you have sent the loan application form.

About a month after sending the application off you'll get a letter with your ART number on it which allows the student loan company to identify who you are. Whenever you have an enquiry about your loan you tell them your ART number. You can also use it to check the status of your loan online.

Where is the part of the website where you log in and check your loan status, because the documents tell me to go there, but when I do there's nothing there for checking the status of the loan?

I couldn't find anything on the website either. Although if you go to http://www3.westminster.gov.uk/studentenquiry/status.asp it seems as if you can check it online, although its for westminster council so I don't know if it will work for everywhere.
