Student Finance – Finding your course on the SFE website

I can't find my course when applying for Student Finance

If you can’t find your course when you apply for Student Finance on the Student Finance website, try these steps.

Check you’re in the right funding section

Some courses appear on the Undergraduate section on the Student Finance website, even if you think they should be on the Postgraduate section. Look in the Undergraduate section for your course if you are studying one of these:

•    Integrated Masters
•    Postgraduate Initial Teacher Training (PGCE)
•    Postgraduate Healthcare Courses
•    Pre-registration courses

Check the course name

Make sure you type out your course name exactly as it appears on the York St John University website when searching for the course on the Student Finance website.
 

You can tell full-time, part-time, foundation year, and placement year versions of courses apart because these labels appear at the end of the course name (e.g. ‘BA (Hons) Accounting and Finance with Foundation Year’).

Check your country of domicile

If your home address is in Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland, you might not see your course because the nation-specific version of the course has not been created yet. If this is the case, contact dataquality@yorksj.ac.uk so a separate course can be set up for you.

My course says 'Closed' or 'Closing' on the Student Finance website

If you see ‘Closed’ or ‘Closing’ at the end of a course title on the Student Finance website, don’t worry. These labels describe the status of that course and won’t change your studies or stop you getting Student Finance.

Why you might see these labels:

• The course has been renamed. You will be on the original course name until you finish your course.

• The course has been closed for new applicants. You will still finish your course.

• The course was created by mistake. You will find the correct course to apply to by searching on the Student Finance website and selecting the course without ‘Closed’ in the title.
