Hi there. Have you not made an application with SFE yet? When does your course start? Are you a UK national? Thanks, Leah.

Are you a UK national? Can you confirm the full name of the new course and university? Will the new course be full time or part time? How many year will it be? Thanks, Leah.

Thanks. You can check out this page on how to apply: https://www.gov.uk/apply-for-student-finance

You will need to make an account with SFE if you haven't already.

Please bear in mind that the Maintenance Loan is not specifically for accommodation, it's to help with the cost of your studies, so it may not cover the accommodation, if this is what you are using it for.

You can check out how much you may be entitled to here (this will be an estimate and may not reflect the actual loan): https://www.gov.uk/student-finance-calculator

Thanks, Leah.
