eurovision Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 1. Is it too late to do this for September 2012? 2. Is a credit check performed for student loan and is the loan for fees only or also spending money? Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 1: No, it's only the end of January, the 2012 prospectus probably isn't out yet. 2: They probably do do a credit check, and yes it's only for the fees, any spends should come out of your own pocket.

cgksheff Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I'm sorry, but Rich is full of crap. While many will have applied by now, you have until June to do it!. http://www.ucas.com/news/january/applyingafter15jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Rich that just isn't true. Medical, dental and veterinary students had to apply by last October and all other course applicants by 15th January. It's still possible to submit a late application up until June though. They don't do a credit check, but you will be means tested for your maintenance loan, which is for living costs. If you have studied a course at degree level before, you probably won't be eligible for either a tuition fee or maintenance loan.

shane39 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I went to the Poly for two weeks. Well done Rampent! I admire someone who can condense 4 years study into 2 weeks. And i bet you still went boozing every night to use your loan up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolasice Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Its always best to follow the universities guidelines and deadline but unless they are being overwhelmed by applications i'm pretty sure they will consider your application even if it arrives a little late.

Karis Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 1. Is it too late to do this for September 2012? 2. Is a credit check performed for student loan and is the loan for fees only or also spending money? Thanks for your help! It's never too late. You can apply right up until the course start date (if the course isn't full). As a rule of thumb: earlier is much better! The loan you can use for anything (although it's supposed to be for fees, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
