Register to vote

Don't forget to register to vote in York - the University cannot do this for you.

You are entitled to register at both your home address and your university address. You can vote at both addresses in local elections but you can only vote once in national elections.

Finance problems?

Your student finance payments (if you've applied) will be made by your student finance provider shortly after your course begins provided you have completed enrolment (see item 2 of Things to do). If you haven't received your loan, check:

• You've completed enrolment
• You've submitted your application and all the correct supporting evidence
• Your bank details are correct on your application – check your online account
• You've signed and returned your declaration form
• You’ve allowed five working days for the funds to be paid into your bank account.

If you have checked all this, contact the Student Loans Company.

If you are a home student and the first instalment of your loan or grant is delayed, you may be eligible for assistance funding. For details of all financial advice and support offered by the University, see our finance information for current students.
