Continuing students Applications

Options
I was just wondering.

If you're a returning student applying for student finance, when you click on '"Apply for student support" - what does the next page say?

I don't think it is letting me apply as a continuing student!!

Any help would be appreciated!

    I was wondering if we had to apply each year. It won't let me apply either.

    Not sure exactly what the page said, but I have applied as a returning student (going into year 3) and I am waiting on the postman now.

  • Obviously after logging in....

    You log in... You click apply for finance, and then what!? I get a questionnaire to answer - but that is for new students.

    I can not apply as a returning student at all. And they give me some bull crap on the phone about not accepting returning students applications until March!

    You do have to apply each year.

    I would just wait until March, or until you get a text message or similar telling you to reapply. They may be trying to taper it so that they don't recieve tons of applications at once.

    March still gives them about six months to sort out your finance if starting in September.

  • Makes sense. I've had so much trouble with them in the past though haha, they're ridiculous!

    I am only applying for Maintenance Loan this year, as I'm not entitled to Grants or Tuition fee loans as this is now going to be the 4th year of receiving it - although I don't have to pay any more fee's of rmy course luckily!
