Changing your loans

Please let us know at least two weeks before the next disbursement date to ensure we have time to process your request.

Increasing your loans

Increases are subject to your cost of attendance limit. Any increases will be spread across your remaining disbursements for the year.

If you wish to increase your loans above the fixed cost of attendance you'll need to provide evidence of any additional expenses. Not all additional expenses can be approved.

If you have a PLUS Loan with an endorser you'll only be able to increase your loan up to the endorsed amount. If your endorser is willing to increase the endorsed amount they will have to complete a new application.

Decreasing your loans

Depending on the combination of loans that you have taken out and the amount you request to decrease your loan disbursement by, your Parent PLUS loan is usually reduced first, then any further reduction is taken from your Unsubsidised loan and finally from any Subsidised loan. 

Cancelling your loans

If you cancel your loan after receiving funds you'll need to complete exit counselling. Notify Student Financial Support once your exit counselling is complete. If you cancel your loan you're still responsible for paying any outstanding University fees.
