does the CAS date matter with 28 day rule?

Hi,

In the Tier 4 application guidelines, there is a clause that states:

If you are providing evidence of Official Financial Sponsorship, in addition to evidence of your own personal funds, any money paid to you by your Official Financial Sponsor will not be considered as available personal funds.
Money cannot be counted twice as evidence of maintenance.

However, I will be taking a Loan in addition to my personal funds for the tuition fees and maintenance. I had planned to use the loan to fully fund my tuition fees and partially the maintenance amount, while the rest of the maintenance I was hoping to cover with personal funds. Will this be an issue which implies I can only use the loan for tuition fees?

Hi,

Currently I am waiting for my bank account to hold funds for 28 days. I have accepted a scholarship but it is not yet updated onto my CAS statement. Is it acceptable if an updated CAS with later date is issued to me, while I have already started holding funds for the final amount?
Is there a compulsion to start holding the funds for 28 days after the CAS date?

Thanks

There is no such rule. Your funds must have been in your bank account for 28 consecutive days prior to the day you submit the online application.
