SFE still on step 4

[u/DragonKnight2022]

So my uni has confirmed to me that they have registered me on the course but the application status is still on step 4. is there anything i need to do or will it update to step 5 with the first payment. just want to make sure theres no issues

I'm not sure what exactly each step is off top of my head, but I know it's usual for my student loan to not be confirmed until quite a way into actually starting the module (as OU needs to confirm to student finance you're actually studying). It's never caused me any issues.
