any ideas

Hi, I have just been informed that I can only have two years of funding for my first degree because in 2004 i achieved a certificate in education (which is a level 4)
I paid back the loan fully

i am so distressed as now I will not be able to go to university I have not got a degree it does not seem fair

any advise welcome

thanks

do you want to study something similar? you could try for second year entry at some universities?

Hi Thanks for your reply

I have not got a degree at all, so would not be accepted on at second year?

I have sent an appeal to student loans to see if they will review.

You have a cert he which is level 4? which is equivalent to the 1st year of university?

I would have thought that this fell under the 'gift year' policy.

Have you only done one year of university level study ie you didn't drop out / restart at any point?

I would have thought it would come under the ELQ rules rather than the gift year rules posted above. Hence being told you have 2 years (although, it's 3 if you do an intergrated masters or a sandwich / placement year) left.
