You don't need to declare your Student Loan in the Application form if:
- You’re still studying on a course that your student loan is for
- You completed or left your course after the start of the current tax year, 6th April
- You’ve already repaid your loan in full, or
- You’re paying the Student Loans Company by Direct Debit from your bank to manage your end of loan repayments
As such, if any of these apply, please click 'Yes' when prompted by the '
Do any of the following apply?' question. Otherwise, please click '
No'.
