I cannot think of a single instance over the last eight 
years in which we have made loans from the Access Fund: 
partly because of the extra hassle involved in recording 
and chasing them. There are occasionally circumstances 
(e.g. late arrival of a grant cheque) in which a loan, 
rather than an outright award, is appropriate, and in these 
rare cases we would make a short-term loan from the Fees 
Office. This would be recorded as a "debt to the 
University", and would be chased automatically along with 
other such debts (e.g. parking, library, TF debts). A 
student with such an unpaid loan could not be awarded a 
degree.
