Adding maintenance loan to SFE application?

I think I may have already asked this on here, but can't find the thread! My son did not apply for maintenance loan, then changed his mind - how can he now add this? Thanks!

Thanks for this, hopefully this will work! Also, I am wondering what to do if I have not received the email for supporting his application as a parent. Would you be able to advise me on this as well please?

Hi there, once the change has been updated this would generate the sponsor request emails. Thanks, Stephen.

OK that's fine, but I'm wondering why I didn't receive an email after his original loan for the fees was approved? He received the letter to confirm this, but I had no email. Also, he has just tried to change his loan to include the maintenance loan and it seems he has to print out, fill in and send a form in order to do this. As today is the deadline, would this delay his fees being paid in time for the start of his course, or would there just be a delay for the maintenance loan? Thanks!

Hi again, the deadline for today (16/05/25) is a soft deadline to ensure payment on time. Students can still apply after this point as they have 9 months from the start of the academic year (01/09/25) to submit their applications, as this would be the final deadline. So he is fine to upload the form via his online account. Thanks, Stephen.

Me again....Is it actually possible to submit this form on his online account? It won't let him fill in the signature field, so does this mean he has to send it by post? Thanks so much!
