SFE are informed automatically when you complete all parts of your registration. If you're a new student, that includes giving proof of your ID and qualifications.
For SFE to confirm your funding to us, your name on their assessment must match the exact name we hold for you. If there is a mismatch we can't confirm your registration to them and your loan payment will be delayed. However, if everything matches and we have been able to inform SFE that you are registered this normally will release your loans within the next 3-5 working days. Please be advised during Registration Period this may take upto 10 working days.
You can go to the Gov.uk website to check the status of your tuition fee loan payment.
