Continuing students need to re-enrol in order to receive their funding

All undergraduate students who are either progressing on to the next year of their course in September 2022 or repeating some modules from the previous academic year must re-enrol each year of the course, including repeat years.

You can re-enrol by accessing My Brighton then enter your log in details to Student View and follow the instructions.

If you applied for your funding in good time, you should have been assessed and able to see a status update on your Student Finance account.

Status terms used by Student Finance explained

Student Finance use different terms to describe the status of funding applications/assessments. Here’s what the different options mean:

Awaiting confirmation

This means that Student Finance is waiting for the university to tell them that you’re enrolled and engaging in the course.

Please note that this won’t happen until after Monday 26 September (or when your course actually starts) and you must be fully enrolled on the course for this to work successfully. You may have to wait until 28 September or later to receive your first instalment.

If you see the term ‘Awaiting attendance confirmation‘ next to the Tuition Fee Loan element, this is perfectly normal and will not affect your Maintenance Loan payments. We don’t collect Tuition Fee Loan payments until later in the term so this will subsequently change to ‘Paid’ in November. And remember, the Tuition Fee Loan is paid direct to the university, not to you.

Scheduled

This means that Student Finance has all the information they need from you and your loan has been approved for payment.

Payment in progress

Payment is on its way. It usually takes up to three working days to reach your bank account.

Blocked

This usually means that you either need to submit your bank details in order to receive the Maintenance Loan, or your National Insurance number is being verified. It can take up to two weeks to check National Insurance numbers.

However, it can also mean that the Tuition Fee Loan has been withheld this academic year due to previous study, so please get in touch if you know that this applies to you.

Failed

This means that unfortunately the payment was returned to Student Finance. Please check your bank details urgently.

Paid

This is what everyone wants to read so payment should have entered your nominated bank account.
