Student finance after leaving course

1 tasks in suggested order

1. Repay any Student Finance England overpayment created when you suspend or leave

If applicable: If Student Finance England tells you that a reassessment created an overpayment.

If Student Finance England paid support for a period you were no longer entitled to after suspending or leaving, that amount is treated as an overpayment and is recovered separately from normal income-contingent loan repayments.

When?

After Student Finance England reassesses the award and tells you an overpayment is due.

Where / who?

Student Finance England using the repayment instructions in the official notice/account.

What to prepare?

Reassessment notice, payment details and the effective suspension/withdrawal date.

What to check?

The earnings threshold for normal student-loan repayments does not protect a leaving/suspension overpayment from recovery. Contact Student Finance England if you cannot pay as requested.
