Short Term Emergency Loan (STEL)
The College has a facility to loan money to full-time students experiencing short-term hardship (for example, through a delay in the issue of a student loan and/or grants). The Short Term Emergency Loan’s are to a maximum of £300 and are repayable in full during the academic year they are taken out; they are available only to fully enrolled students. Contact the Student Funding Team, Student Centre, RHB 117 for details. Students taking out a Short-term Emergency Loan must repay this otherwise they may not be allowed to enrol in subsequent years, and may be prevented from entering any examinations.
How to Apply
You can obtain an application pack (application form, notes for guidance, Weekly/Monthly Financial Statement and a BACS form) from the Student Centre, RHB 117.

Deadline for Applying
