Academic year 2024/25 student finance applications
We’re currently processing student finance applications in line with our service standards. We’d urge you to put the usual processes in place to encourage new students accepting places on your courses to now apply for student finance. Likewise, please check SIS regularly to track, and encourage your continuing students where necessary, to reapply for finance for academic year 2024/25. Our Account Managers will be exploring the success of various methods and timings with you.
End of year cleardown
Please prioritise any outstanding registration or attendance confirmations for 2023/24 courses. You should follow up all registrations with an appropriate attendance confirmation. You should also submit confirmations of non-attendance and any change of circumstance notifications as soon as you know about them. This will help us to maintain accurate information on student accounts. It will also help us to minimise and recover any tuition fee overpayments. You can find more guidance on this below.
Maintaining contacts
The HE Gateway holds a list of provider contacts who use each of our services. Each contact is assigned one or more contact roles. If we need to get in touch with someone at your university or college, we can use this list to find the most appropriate person. We also send service updates and news bulletins to this list of contacts. You should always keep your organisation’s contacts updated. An out-of-date contact list could cause delays in processing payments. Find out more below.
