Although we aren't able to give you a specific date that your Student Finance England (SFE) application will be assessed by, there is guidance available on the GOV.UK website on estimated timelines.

If you visit the SFE Current Application Timescale webpage you will find the most up to date estimates.  The page is regularly updated and is the best place to get an idea of how long it would take to get an update on your application if you applied this week, or had sent in additional evidence or if you are applying for Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA).

If you have already applied you should be able to track the progress and status of your application online.  If you aren't sure how to do that, then there is a useful Checking the Status of Your Student Finance Application webpage that can help.

Although we can't speed up your application with SFE, if you are in need of specialist support you can reach out to our Student Finance Team by completing a Student Finance Self-Referral form.  When you submit the form, make sure to upload any useful documents, evidence or letters you may have had about your SFE application.
