Changing uni for student finance

So I need to change my uni for student finance because my application was in Exeter but I am going to the uni of Southampton. I was wondering if I'd still get the minimum maintenance loan if I left It as Exeter and then enrolled at Southampton to get my loan because to be honest I'm probably gonna starve if I don't get the loan asap as I'm going to be estranged when I leave for uni.


I know that it's on me for applying late though. I applied in mid June. But then there was a kerfuffle with having to send off my passport 2 times and eventually I got an email saying they received the passport.

But anyways am I good to just keep it as Exeter and then enroll with Southampton to get the loan? Or do I need to apply asap. Also should I be able to change it online without having to post anything because it is telling me I need to send off a form. I can't do it online. Thanks

Hi there. To release the Maintenance Loan, we need the university to send us your registration, so if you are changing university, you will need to update this first.

What status is your applicaiton at online? When you tried to change it online, did it direct you to complete a change of circumstances form? Thanks, Leah.
