Applied through clearing?
If you have applied for a course through clearing, there’s still time to get some student finance in time for the start of your course but you need to apply now at www.direct.gov.uk/studentfinance.
The deadline for applications has passed which means Student Finance England may not be able to work out your full entitlement in time for the start of term.
Student Finance England will make sure that you have some student finance available to you as close as possible to the start of your course. You will be initially assessed to work out how much funding you will receive without taking your household income into account.
Student Finance England will then fully assess your application based ob your household income once they have received and processed all the information and evidence required to support your application.
Change of Circumstances
If you have already applied for student finance but your course, university or college have changed due to the Clearing process, you will need to inform Student Finance England of the changes.
You can do this quickly and easily by logging into your student finance account at www.direct.gov.uk/studentfinance and changing your details - even if you applied on paper.
Phishing' emails
The SLC are urging university students to be aware of phishing scams and not to reveal their personal details online. Students are often targeted with phishing emails around student finance payment dates.
SLC's top two messages to students:
- We will never ask you to update your bank details by email
-We will never ask you to verify your student account details by email
Students should ignore messages that tell them to 'validate your account' or provide any personal, security or banking details. We will never ask for students to confirm their information in this way.

The Student Financial Support team have responsibility for allocating the Access to Learning Fund to eligible students, in addition to providing information and advice on financial matters throughout your time at University. The finer detail of regulations relating to financial support is beyond the scope of this site, so we have provided links where appropriate to relevant Student Finance England (or Northern Ireland, Wales or the Students Awards Agency for Scotland) guides and other relevant sites.
If you cannot find the information you require here please contact us and we will see if we are able to help or advise you.
If you enrolled on your course before September 2006 please email us at studentfinance@mmu.ac.uk for information on the funding available to you.
You will also find a summary of BIS (the Government Department responsible for Universities) and other useful student finance guides referred to throughout these pages.
In addition to the Student Financial Support team you can also contact the Students Union Advice Centre for help and advice about specific financial problems. Their trained advisers have lots of experience of all the main issues affecting students at Manchester Metropolitan University.
