Help With Student Finance England

If you are having problems with your student funding and wish the Student Funding Advisor to contact Student Finance England on your behalf, you will need to set up “Third Party Consent to Share”.

This means that an advisor from the university can speak to Student Finance England regarding your application for student funding on your behalf, without the need for you to be present, to facilitate this process you must first contact Student Finance England and give permission for your information to be shared with a third party.

To Set Up Third Party Consent To Share:

Contact Student Finance England: 0300 100 0607
Request to set up Third Party Consent to Share be given to the advisory team at my University
Create your own Consent Password

You will then need to notify the Student Funding Advisor of your Customer Reference Number, chosen Consent Password and student details.

Please see the form which gives instructions on how to set up consent to share here

Student Loan Repayments

Please note when you are in the repayments system if you change your home address or name or have a period of residence abroad that exceeds three months you must notify the Student Loans Company of the change promptly or arrears may build up on your account which will need to be paid back on top of any regular payments you may be making at the same time as your tax and National Insurance.
