Started repaying too early
If you started making repayments before you were supposed to, you’ll be due a refund.
The earliest you’re supposed to start repaying is:
- the April after you finish or leave your course
- the April four years after the course started if you’re studying part-time or doing a Postgraduate Doctoral course and your course is longer than four years
- April 2026 if you’re on Plan 5
How to ask for your refund
Once you’ve confirmed that your plan type has been changed and no more repayments will be taken. You can contact us by phone or on social media for your refund.
