EU student: residency in the UK on first day of the year

Hello,
I have applied for my pg loan as an EU student who's never lived in the UK.
One of the requirements for eligibility is to be ordinarily resident in the UK by the first day of the first year of my course. Now my course starts on 9th September but the first day of the accademic year is 1st of September. Which one is the day I am required to be in the UK? And what sort of evidence would I be asked for?

During the application process I couldn't submit a date of arrival that was later than 1st September, but I've found different opinions on this forum, also from official SFE advisers, so I would really appreciate a clarification about this.
Many thanks
