My courses will end in October this year. Migrant worker contract says i need to work during my entire studies. What is going to happen if i stop working for 3 months due to family matters after i finish my University in October? How does Sfe calculate the academic year and how do i find out the date when im allowed to stop working. many thanks 😀

Hi Bianca,

If you stop working part way through the term, you will have been overpaid as you are expected to work for the duration of your studies. You will need to speak with the repayment team regarding your other query.

For this query we will need you to contact our repayments department but they are not available on here. If you prefer to communicate to them via chat then you can message them on Twitter https://twitter.com/messages/compose?recipient_id=806835849916719104 or Facebook http://m.me/SLCRepayment - alternatively they are also available on the phone, their number is 0300 100 0611.

Thanks, Clare

Many thanks Clare for you prompt answer.

I will finish my university in October with everything dissertation and assessments. I was asking student hub when do we actually finish University and they said October.i wont have any classes after. My year started in mid February ( i am a January intake ) and i suppose to finish in October . Does Sfe counts the whole academic year? Such as from 1 st January to 31 st December?

Hi Bianca,

No, as long as you are working through the duration of your course until the last day, that should be acceptable.

Thanks, Clare
