Wrong Uni on Application before its been approved.

I have applied through clearing at ICMP uni to have got my unconditional offer to start next week. However, the uni that I put down on my application for student finance is a different uni to the one ill be attending. I made the application on the 29th august and its still not been approved (18th September). SFE said that they will contact me by the 30th of September. But because of the mistake on the application, will it be approved still and I can change the uni at a later time online whilst I'm studying, or will I have to wait until I hear back and then send off a form allowing me to change it meaning it wont be complete until 28th October as the SFE employee stated. Like I said I start uni very soon and I cant attend if I don't have my finance sorted.
Hi there,

Have you tried to make the change on your online account and has it allowed you to do so?

Thanks, Drew

Hi drew, i cannot change it online until its been approved as thee SFE agent informed me.
Hi there,

So your application is not approved yet. I would advise you to upload the Change of Circumstances form as when the application is reviewed they will process the form and update your application.

Thanks, Drew

Hi drew. i have filled out the form but can i take a screen shot and upload it as evidence? or will i have to send it in the post as that could increase the wait time significantly?

thanks
Hi there,

It can be uploaded from your online account. The form should be processed with your application and if you have been advised of the 30th of September then that is when you would get the update.

Thanks, Drew
hi drew, i know that i can upload it online, however how should i upload it as in screenshot after filling it out via computer or fill out the document in pen and take a picture of the forms as evidence?
Hi there,

You can do either what ever suits you best.

thank you so much for all you help. and since im uploading it via online does that mean they can process it all together by the 30th september or will i still have to wait the additional 6 weeks? sorry for so many questions
Hi there,

If your application was due to be processed on the 30th of September then the Change of Circumstances form would be picked up and processed on the same day.

Thanks, Drew
this is great news, thank you drew for all your help you've been more informative than anyone on the SFE helpline.
You're welcome. If you have any further questions you can ask us on this platform.

Thanks, Drew
