Five year rolling performance assessment - Student Loans

Provides information on the five year rolling performance assessment for Student Loans.

Your performance for Student Loans is measured over a five year rolling assessment period or from when you draw down a Student Loan for study ending in 2009 or later - whichever is first. This means that we look at up to your most recent five years of previous study only.

Once you have received a Student Loan, EFTS for periods where Student Loan is not received are also included in the assessment.

Note: the five year rolling assessment period will not affect any students until 2015 as the earliest we will look at performance is from any study ending in 2009.
