My last year of college was funded by student finance under the old tariff of 3k per year and I'm heading off to university under the new tariff where my course fee is listed as 9k per year on the university website.

Because I am classed as a continuing student by student finance, they will pay the university using the old tariff, only allocating them 3k in tuition fees when they want 9.

Is this an issue that the university needs to be made aware of? Will I be given the task of coughing up the extra 6k? Is this happening to anyone else?

Someone is continuing from the same course with the same issue and their university was told via student finance to lump it. Unfortunately, I no longer have contact with them to ask how it turned out.

I'll ring student finance tomorrow if anyone thinks it'll help.
Thanks

Apart from that being really unhelpful advice my course is not run on the OU and I don't particularly want to study with them either.

Have any finance whizzes got any advice for me?
