Withdrawing from UG course at end of 1st term, student finance confusion?
I started an UG course at University of Westminster this September (2011) but have hated it for months, so I put a discontinuation form into my School's registry on the 13th December. I phoned Student Finance to ask them about changing to a Pathway Programme at BPP University College (anyone go there on one of those courses? Know if SF fund them?) and the woman I spoke to said something about an amount that Westminster want me to pay them.
I was under the impression that if I withdrew after 2nd December - when SF pay your tuition fees to your uni - that I wouldn't have to pay the fees back immediately, and that I would pay it back to SF after I was earning 15k+? That's what Student Advice at Westminster told me, so I stuck the course out until after the 2nd but now I'm being told that I have to "discuss" the amount I pay with Westminster to Westminster?
Has this happened to anyone else, and if so, what happened? I'm really confused and pretty worried, because I don't know what's going on and everything I get told conflicts with something else I've been told before.
Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!
