Will my maintenance loan be paid on the 22nd?

I recieved an email on the 17/09/2025 telling me that my maintenance loan will be paid on the 22/09/2025. However, when I log into SFE it says that my loan will be paid on the 06/10/25. I haven't recieved a text yet although my enrolment is confirmed. What's going on?

Hi there,

Is your course undergraduate? The payment for the 06/10 is this definitely showing as Maintenance Loan and not Tuition Fee Loan? What status does the payment show online in your account?

Thanks,
Claire

Yes I'm an undergraduate. The payment for my maintenance loan is showing as due on the 06/10 my tuition is 15/10. The status is ready to be paid. So why would I recieve an email saying it's due on the 22nd when it's not?

Is the email from SFE regarding the payment? When does your course start?

Thanks,

Yes it's from SFE. My course starts on the 06/10. Also, it's not a phishing email - I've always recieved emails from the same account regarding student finance applications and payments etc.

Was your course originally starting in September then change at all? Payments are normally scheduled for the first day of your course subject to your confirmation of registration being received.
