Will I receive my payment from Student Finance England as soon as I arrive?

You’ll receive your payment from Student Finance England once you’ve enrolled, and normally within a week of your course start date. We advise you that you have money available to see you through Welcome Week while you’re waiting for this payment to come through. This ensures that you can take care of your immediate needs and make the most of your first few days at university.

If your Student Finance application is not approved before you enrol, and you’re worried about a delay with receiving your Student Finance, please reach out to our Financial Support specialists in the Student Wellbeing team for advice and support.
