Student finance

Hello there. I just want to make sure about my problem; if anyone has any information, please tell me directly. First, I am an international student who lived in the UK from 2022-2025, so it has been three years. But my question is: I moved to the UK in November 2022. The application opened in March, and my course starts in September2025. I just want to know if they count months or years( i see they require people who live in the uk for 3 yeas only) . Do you think I can apply for a student loan in the UK?

Hi there,

To receive home funding support, students who are from ROW must meet the residency criteria below;

•

Have settled status in the UK (ILR, ILE, No Time Limit) or Settled Status awarded under the EU Settlement Scheme), this must have been granted before the first day of the first AY of their course

•

Have been ordinarily resident in the UK and Islands for the three years prior to the first day of the first AY of their course, they need to provide Home Office status evidence for this period

•

Be ordinarily resident in England on the first day of the first AY of their course

If your course starts September 2025 you would need to have been here 3 years before this i.e. before 01/09/2022

Thanks,
Claire

Would it be possible to schedule a meeting with the university's student finance support team to discuss a problem I am experiencing? I believe it may be related to my student loan(only 2 months left from Sept). Or I can not do anything please can give me some advice ?
