Eligibility

To check your eligibility for a university bursary or award please visit: myuclan.uclan.ac.uk then click the services for students tab> Check Bursary Entitlement/Payments

Changes in my circumstances

If you transfer course your new course must meet the eligibility criteria for you to continue receiving the award. If the transfer extends the time you will spend studying at the University the award will be capped based on the original course duration less anything you have received to date.

In the event of a formal interruption to your studies which is agreed with the University, your account would be frozen which means you would not be able to access your award until such time as you re-registered and resumed your studies and your account was re-activated. You will not receive any additional awards where your interruption extends the length of your studies.

Your account would be frozen which means you would not be able to access your award until such time as your suspension was lifted and your account was re-activated. Re-activation of your account would, however, be dependent on the award scheme still running at the point your suspension was lifted. You will not receive any additional credit where your suspension extends the length of your studies

The award will continue to be paid during the period of time you are repeating your studies however the maximum value of the award will not increase to reflect any additional period of time you are studying for.

Accessing your award

Visit www.UCLan-Achieve.co.uk click the login button on the top right of your screen, enter your UCLan student email and associated password (the same details you use for Blackboard, MY UCLan and your email account).

You will need to reset your password using the 'forgot password' button on the login page. If your issue persists, please contact UCLan IT services.

Withdrawing cash from the UCLan Achieve portal

If your award allows for cash withdrawal you will see how much you can withdraw once logged into your account. Once logged in click the 'withdraw funds' button on the home page. You can request the value of cash you want to withdraw and confirm that your contact details are correct (This is needed for 2 factor authentication later in the process). Once you have completed your request to withdraw your cash you will receive an email from the student portal with a reference number, please keep this safe as this is needed later in the process.

The maximum limit is the withdrawal balance (shown on your screen), the minimum value is £20, or if the balance is below £20 then the full value under £20 can be withdrawn.

The funds usually transfer instantly but could take up to 2 hours. Please note that if you chose to enter your sort code and account number manually, this cannot be rectified if you enter the wrong details, and the funds are sent to the wrong account.

Email Student.info@uclan-achieve.co.uk from your university email account with the correct details. Once your details have been updated you will receive confirmation by email.

Once you have confirmed your withdrawal request your transaction reference number will be displayed on screen. You will also automatically receive an email from JS Group you're your transaction reference number. You can also find your transaction reference by clicking 'Your Account' and then clicking 'Account Statement'.

Email ku/oc/eveihca-nalcu//ofni/tnedutS from your university email account. Please note that JS Group or UCLan take no liability for incorrectly entered bank account details.

Mostbanks are available on Payit. However, if you can not find your bank in your drop-down list, simply enter your bank account number and sort-code instead of logging into your online banking account.

Please check that your award allows for cash withdrawal as some bursaries are restricted to only allow spend via the Achieve Online Store. If your award allows for cash withdrawal and you are still receiving an error message, please contact: ku/oc/eveihca-nalcu//ofni/tnedutS from your university email account.
