Thread: Student Loan Help!

Afternoon all,

So I've finally got off my arse (well sat down on it actually) and visited the Student Finance website to apply for my University Loan for when I go in September (fingers crossed).

But I am so CONFUSED!!! :censored:

Does anyone have a clue where to start?

Does anyone know what to register for, am I registering for Apply for Support or Support an Application or both?????

:wallbash:

Hmmm... When I applied I was just sent a form.

If you go on the student finance website there should be a section that says something about applying for 09/10. Click on that and it should hopefully let you fill out the form.

I hope that helps- I've never had any confusion so I'm not really sure what's wrong lol.

Try this

Heya,

I know it's a complete nightmare but you definitely want to "apply for support". If you live with your parents they'll need to "support an application" but there's the option when you apply for them to send the paper documents instead of doing it online - which I find is simpler as you need to send documents in and sign things anyway. If you've lived alone for over a certain number of years you'll need to "support an application" yourself - but it will tell you if that applies when you fill in the "apply for support" bit.

Hope that helps!

It's telling me to register and I don't know what to register for, this is the thing!

Thanks hun, that makes tonnes more sense!
I can now get on with it, what's more annoying is that there is no place you can find help on it on the website, well not that I could see!

Probably to log in to the site.

Have you had UCAS letters?

I have indeed, and all my offers

I have sorted in now December, thanks for the help!

No problem, I've had three years of tussling with the silly thing and 4 applications for support now. I don't think there is an faq or anything, though with the first version I used (they changed it this year) it was a bit simpler. The amount of times I forgot my ART ID or password or both was a nightmare. Now I keep my ART ID in my diary.

Cool Cool

Where are you going?

Well I'm staying local and I'm hoping to go to Roehampton, as my first choice, or St. Mary's as my insurance

All this uni lark is so confuzzling!!
