Full-time undergraduate student need to apply for finance as soon as they can
Over the last few months the SLC have been encouraging new full-time students to submit your applications on time and before the deadlines. This helps to ensure your finance is in place by the time your course starts.
For SFE, that deadline has now passed. For new full-time SFW undergraduate students the deadline of 27th May is also quickly approaching.
Applying Late
You can still apply after the deadlines and get some money in time for the start of your course.
If students do apply too late to allow the SLC to fully assess your application, you may only receive the minimum non-means tested amount of student finance in time for starting your course. As a reminder, it can take up to 6 weeks for the SLC to process your full application.
The SLC have published guidance for Applying late that student may find helpful. This will help students who have yet to apply to understand the steps they need to follow and provide reassurance that it is not too late to apply
Application status enquiries
The contact centre at the SLC is very busy at the moment. They want to ensure their advisers are available to assist students and sponsors with the most complex queries and pressing issues.
Students do not need to call for updates on the status of the application or expected payment dates. You can simply sign into your online account to track your application, check for actions and complete and update your personal details. You can also reset your password and secret answer online
