3 year residency

Is there a way around it if that is the only shortcoming

Hi Mabroc,

Can you confirm if you are a UK national?

Can you confirm how long you were in the UK within that 3 year period and where you were residing?

Thanks, Clare

Hi Mabroc, to be eligible for to receive home funding support, students who are from Rest of the Worlds students 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 academic year of their course

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

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


If you do not meet this criteria, then you may not be eligible for support. Stephen

I meet all criteria excepts the 2 month short of the 3 year residency so I believe there should be a way around it.
I already have an admission in place so I advice me what I can still do about it

Hi there,

You would need to meet all criteria's prior to the first day of the academic year Stephen mentioned above even if it was just short of the 3 years. Thanks, Jason
