Has your student status ended?
Please let us know when your student status ceases. Log in to Student Loan Direct, and enter the exact date when your student status ended. If you prefer not to use your Student Loan Direct account, you are required to send the completed form to the Student Loan Centre via postal service. The exact date of the cessation of your student status is recorded at the Student Affairs Office at your university or college.
When contacting us via postal service or telephone, please refer to your 8-digit contract number!
Have you finished your studies?
Please indicate that your student status has been ended as explained above.
You are required to start repaying your loan on the first day of the fourth month after your student status has ended, or on the first day of the fourth month after you have become 40 years old. For more information see the “What to know about repayments” section.
Are you continuing your studies in another higher education institution?
If you change institution, report us the details regarding your new student status, as well as the new institution and faculty, through Student Loan Direct.
We are not able to transfer the loan, unless you let us know about the change. If you report late, you will receive your Student Loan but only after a delay.
Are you already repaying a student loan, but you would like to take up a new course?
If you are already repaying your loan but you enrol again for a course at a higher education institute, you can report this through Student Loan Direct. If your Student Affairs Office confirms your student status, you will not have to start repaying the loan until you have finished your studies or become 40 years old.
However, when you start repaying again, your previous repayment will affect your first two years of repayment.
If you have some time left from your eligibility period, and you have no overdue debt to the Student Loan Centre, the amount previously established and stored in our system will be transferred to you at the time of the next disbursement.
If you have some time left from your eligibility period, but you do not want to continue using your Student Loan, you can request the suspension of the disbursement through Student Loan Direct.
