Hi, I would really appreciate it if anyone could help me out with this.
Last year was my third and final year of my law degree, however shortly before my exams I deferred them due to medical reasons and so did not complete the year.
Because I only finished 3/6 of my modules, I am now returning this september to finish off the remaining modules. My head of year told me he would recommend to the board of examiners that I would attend uni on a full time basis. I received a letter from the Dean with my next year laid out and it said that I will finish my remaining modules and need to attend all lectures and tutorials for all three.
Today however, when I went to register it said that my mode of attendance is 'part time: variable'. I am aware that student finance only will give maintenance grant and loan to me (as I had in previous years) if I am classed as a full time student. I even called up and the confirmed this despite me telling them I am still attending half the year.
There is no way I can live in Bristol and survive without this financial help and I would have very little time to work whilst doing these three remaining modules as there are lectures and tutorials most days. I am going to call up the university tomorrow to ask them whether they can change my status to full time but I am really worrying whether they can't class me as that because I am not doing the full 120 credits.
please can anyone help me as I am really stuck of what to do right now
