About
The Student Loans Company is a UK public sector organisation providing loans, grants, allowances and bursaries to over one million Further Education and Higher Education students annually, across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. We provide a series of seminar and training events delivered by both face-2-face and virtual engagement, through which we engage and communicate with a wide variety of organisations with a role in Further Education and Higher Education.
This event programme is enhanced year on year, and we have been busy recently planning our response to the Covid-19 situation; we will be launching a series of webinars and virtual service review forums later on in the year to ensure our partners and stakeholders are kept up to date with the latest changes to our services, products and processes. These events provide the Student Loans Company with the opportunity to receive feedback on your experiences of our services. View details of our upcoming events below:

Course Management Service (CMS) Webinar
The Course Management Service (CMS) Webinar has been designed to provide HEP CMS users key information on the AY 2021/22 course submission process for all full-time UG courses, part-time courses and postgraduate courses.
The webinar will cover entering course information on to CMS, the correct application of flags, term dates, fee entry common errors and SLC’s approach to course entry validation. Finally, we will cover any changes you will need to prepare for ahead of academic year 2021/22 as a result of student finance adjustments due to the COVID pandemic.
The webinar will aim to achieve the following objectives:
- To support delivery of SLC services by better informing our partners on changes that will impact them
- To increase HEP awareness of the importance of correct course data
- To share SLC best practice with HEPs
- To use HEP knowledge and experience to improve the service SLC offers
- To support positive engagement among partner colleagues

This is an opportunity for Learning Providers to participate in small online groups hosted on ZOOM to discuss the administrative requirements of Advanced Learner Loans. We will share information about AY 19/20 & AY 20/21 YTD application trends and review opportunities for best practice looking at it from a Learning Provider perspective. We will also provide an overview of recent enhancements to both the Learning Provider Portal and the online application, as well as provider resources, allowing you the opportunity to feedback on all areas of the Learning Provider and the SLC partnership.
