FINANCE

If your course and/or university will be different from those you entered at your application for student finance, you should update your online student finance account at www.gov.uk/studentfinance preferably as soon as you accept a different Offer and before you start your course.

Student Finance England has a “make changes to your application” function at your student-finance account. Alternatively, phone your funding provider to discuss, if there is a problem.  

If you have changed university but your student funding has not yet been reassessed to recognise that, your first-term payment date from SLC will be much later than on your existing award notification letter. 

If you were approved a  tuition fee loan, that will be approved for the Degree course here, once Student Finance reassess your entitlement to reflect your change of university. Northumbria will allow you to enrol while waiting for SLC to confirm your fee loan here.

You can change your correspondence address to your main home address however most Student Finance England (SFE) correspondence you receive will also be available at your SFE online account. Online letters are also available for applicants with SFWales and SFNorthern IreIand.

If you have already applied for your student funding but will change university through clearing, change your student finance application as described above. 

If you do not, or cannot, Northumbria will be required to create a “transfer-in” Change of Circumstances to correct your Student Loan Co. (SLC) record. It is important that you notify us via the enrolment-task that a “transfer-in change of circumstances” can be sent to SLC. This can be done via your Northumbria Student-portal.

Once you have enrolled from September 2023, Northumbria will update the Student Loan Company (SLC) with correct course information where the course for which you are registered is different from that which your student funding has been assessed for.

However, we can only do this where your student funding has been linked to another course at Northumbria!

When you register as a student with Northumbria it is important you add your Student Loan Company Student Support Number (SSN) at the “enrolment task”, this is a 13-figure reference, e.g. SFDU21123456A and can be found on the payments page of your student funding award notification letter.
