It may not be the most exciting part of student life, but managing your money as well as possible could make the difference between abject poverty and being able to afford an extra pint in the student union.

Whether you are about to start your first term, or are going back to the grind after the summer break, we may be able to help you make the most of your cash.
Perhaps you are wondering which student account to open, who offers the best overdrafts or which banks are giving away the best value incentives. Or maybe you are worried about how you will make it to the next summer holidays without ending up destitute.

On Wednesday at 2pm David Malcolm, head of social policy at the National Union of Students, and Michelle Slade of financial data firm Moneyfacts, will be live online to answer your questions on anything from loans and other forms of funding to budgeting tips and what the banks have to offer. Post your question now.

Advice is for guidance only - if you want to take your query further get in touch with the welfare officer at your university or college, and for more information visit our student finance section.

Unfortunately we have had to postpone the clinic. It will now take place from 2.30pm on Thursday September 18
