I started OU on a part time basis but dropped out after two semesters, I then started uni full time but hate my course and want to change in September.
Am I right in thinking Ill still get funding as my first course was part time?

Hi Sk23g2009,

What course are you looking to change to?

Thanks,

I called up and asked and was told I would get full funding as my first year was part time OU but I can't seem to verify that online

Hi Sk23g2009,

If your only other studying was a year at the Open University then you will be able to get funding for your new course as part time study is not taken into account for full time courses

Thanks,
Calum
