Hi everyone.
Okay, so I've basically messed everything up and I'm wondering if there's a way to fix it.
Let me fill you in on what's happened:
I had one of the worst years of my life during my first year at university. It wasn't the uni experience I was hoping for as I experienced severe personal issues, nothing to do with uni itself, although I wasn't really enjoying the course at the time. I ended up with really long extensions at the end of my first year due to how bad my mitigating circumstances were. I got pretty decent grades overall despite everything going on. I've always questioned whether it is the right course for me as I've not been able to enjoy the course as much as I would have hoped. I considered changing course but didn't have the confidence to at the time, so I went back in September and tried to fix things in terms of having made no friends and lacking attendance. I ended up in financial difficulties which, in turn, added to my already severe mental health issues. From January 2016 it became very hard to go to lectures and submit assignments. Now I have missed deadlines, despite getting more extensions due to how severe my mental health problems have become. I am worried that I will fail as I'm not sure I will be able to get extensions.
My questions are: If I don't get the extensions and I do fail the modules, can I withdraw and apply to another university for a fresh start? If I do get the extensions and do pass my modules, can I still withdraw and apply to another university?
As far as student finance is concerned, I have contacted them and they have said they would consider paying for 3 years of tuition if I have to withdraw from my current course for severe health issues.
