Damn. This year has been hellish applying for my Loan and Fees.

I waited 20 mins in a phone queue only to be told to phone someone else - no thanks.

Tried online, didn't work - I've been given the wrong number.

Emailed SAAS - waited ages for a reply.

Finally applied... and have heard nothing yet... sad.gif

I've already had my award notice, because I applied early like a good boy biggrin.gif

However, they took £92 off me because I was apparantly overpaid last year. I sent in evidence from last year to get it re-assessed, but I've not heard from them yet sad.gif

I think the key is to apply in the summer when they're not so busy (maybe I shouldn't have tipped you all off ph34r.gif )

If you do it in March/April when they start the loan applications for the new session then all the trouble you ppl have been reporting doesnt happen. It's a pain to have to do it every year but its just one of those things lol.

Another reason I do it early is because St Andrews will not let you matriculate as a student until you have proof that tuition fees will be paid for. Tho I believe other uni's are a lot more flexible about that and give you a few weeks to sort it out after matricualtion.

I sent mine on 15th August and got it the other day.

By the way, Glasgow let you hand in the letter late... I know a few people who didn't have it until October and they just gave it to the registry.

And are tuition fees not just £1200 (sorry to be picky!)?
The race is long, and in the end it's only with yourself.

see i didnt think that was the case, i was under the impression the reason england have top up fees is because the fees do not vary from course to course or uni to uni

If i am not here i am somewhere else

Yeah, I thought that wasn't the case here either, as I noticed most courses have a fee of £1,175 up here, hence the maximum tutuion fee payable here being £1,200.

If Heriot Watt's tuition fees come to £1700, then obviously £1200 is not the maximum payable up here.
