Help with student finance re placement

Hi there wonder if you could assist me please.

I am on a 4 year degree course and starting my 3rd year 12 month paid placement this September. I went onto student finance website as a returning student to reapply as I understand there will still be tuition fees to pay and I'm stuck early on not knowing how to respond to one of the questions.

It's asking if I am living with my parents or not. For my first and second year I was staying in student accommodation but for my third placement year I'm unsure whether I will be living with my parents or renting a flat nearer to where my placement is.

I haven't received enough information from my placement yet to determine this as it's a hybrid role so it would be possible for me to stay with my parents and do the commute a couple of times a week but if I have to be there more often or at short notice I may have to find other accommodation nearer to placement.

How do I answer this question?

Hope this makes sense. Thank you.

Hi there,

If you select parents for all 3 terms then if you decide you're living away from home you can then change this online later.

Thanks,

Thanks Clare, if I do have to make changes do I need to do this within the application deadline or can it be done afterwards (online)?

The deadline is 9 months from the start of the academic year. The guideline we give for applying is 17th of May for new students and 21st of June for continuing students. You can still make the changes online in your account after the applying guideline.

Thanks,
Claire
