Â鶹´«Ã½

Before any payments are made to you by the Student Loans Company (SLC), your registration on the programme must be confirmed. If the University or College Payment Advice page of your entitlement letter (sent by SLC - this is located in the 'your inbox' section of your Student Finance online account) states that you are studying at a different institution (not Â鶹´«Ã½), the information will need to be updated so that the Student Loans Company is aware that you are registered at Â鶹´«Ã½.

After 1st September 2024: If you are a home student, Â鶹´«Ã½ will notify the SLC of any changes to your university details on your behalf.

If you have a funding entitlement letter which is linked to another university, take the following action:

• Email the University or College Payment Advice page of the entitlement letter to studentfunding@dmu.ac.uk. Please include your full name and date of birth and briefly explain your situation.

Prior to 1st September 2024, you can make any changes to your Student Finance application (including your university or course details) via your Student Finance online account.

The earliest payment date for the 2024/25 academic year is 30 September 2024. If your application for funding is approved and finalised late, then any payments are usually received in your nominated bank account 3-5 working days after your registration is confirmed.

Student Finance England have produced the video below which explains the payment process.

First year students should note; student funding will not be paid to you on your first day at university. Therefore, you should ensure that you have funds available to you until this payment is made.

All students are reminded that they must have an approved student finance application before any funding will be released.

All students must also have completed Â鶹´«Ã½'s online re-registration process in order to trigger their payments from the SLC. Following the confirmation of your registration to SLC, if you do not receive your payments, please email studentfunding@dmu.ac.uk or call the Student Funding team on 0116 257 7595 (option 3).

Please note: The NHS Learning Support Fund (LSF) is applied for via the , not the Student Loans Company. Confirmation of registration to release the payments from the NHS LSF is done by the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences.
