What do I need to do before I enrol?
If you are required to pay for your Access to HE course, you will be able to apply for the Advanced Learner Loan from the Student Loans Company. It is essential that you apply for your loan as soon as possible to ensure that it is in place for enrolment. The application process is completed online and can take a couple of days to be processed if you have a valid passport. If you are required to send any documentation to the Student Loans Company, it can take up to 12 weeks. If your loan is not approved, you will be unable to finalise your enrolment however, as long as a loan is being processed, we will allow you to attend your course as a visitor for a short period.
