Student finance help

Ive been asked to 'prove you'll be on a placement during the academic year' on my student finance so im a bit unsure on what to upload.
This is what they say i can upload as evidence - 'Confirmation of placement from university or college'

Hi there,

Can you confirm if the placement is an integral part of your course? Is the placement paid or unpaid?

Thanks,
Claire

It's unpaid and I think there's 50 weeks of placement across the 3 years of uni

Hi there, We can accept a letter from your university confirming your unpaid placement. Thanks, Angela

I don't have a letter like that but I have a offer email letter. Would that be OK?

Placement years don't generally start until year 3 of the course. I would advise to speak with your university to clarify this with them. If you need to amend your application you can do so. You can find out how to change this here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/student-finance-england-how-to-guide

This course would generally be classed as being at university as the placement is an integral part of your course. I would advise to check this with your university. If you need to amend your application you can do this on your online account. You can find out how to change this here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/student-finance-england-how-to-guide
