Each year, for a range of reasons, some students may not have their student finance in place when they arrive at University.

If this is the case and you have not received your first payment from the Student Loans Company at the start of term, you can apply for an interim Emergency Short Term Loan (ESTL) from the Access to Learning Fund via the FInancial Aid Office (Room G.43 in The Registry building).

You will need to complete and sign a short application form and provide documentary evidence to show that Student Finance England are considering you for a Student Loan.
