Will transferring uni affect my student loan/grant?

Hi,
I'm currently studying first year Biochem. I'm considering transferring to a different course next year, for first year entry (which will be dependent on me getting 70% this year). So, if I start a different course at a different uni from Year 1 next September, will I still be entitled to the maintenance grants that I'm getting right now? Since grants will be scrapped for 2015/16 students, I'm just wondering whether this will affect me as a transfer student. Any help would be appreciated!

The above is right - if you start a new course, you're affected by any new rules regarding finance.

Thanks for answering. Just one more thing, my current course is 3 years long, but if I leave at the end of first year and start first year on a 4 year course, will I be still entitled to tuition fee loans for the full 4 years of the new course?
