Student finance eligibiity

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone knows that answer to this

I did one years study with the Open University part time, and had SFE funding for that. It totalled about 5k or so... I started the second year but dropped out due to sickness. I dropped out before Dec so the tuition was refunded back to SFE, bar £625. The following year I thought to try again, but again, dropped out before Dec as by this point I just felt this style didn't suit me. Because I'd selected the same module as the previous year, they used the £625 credit from the last year towards tuition, and got the rest from SFE... then when I dropped out it was again refunded, though this time nothing was said about retaining £625, so can only presume it was not retained.

I know that SFE provide 4 years funding for full time students. But is it any different because of being part time and having dropped out (even though the moneys were refunded)? Would I still have 3 years of funding left if I ever decided I would like to go back to university?

I was going to call SFE to ask but now they are closed.. so just thought I'd see if anyone knew. If not then I will call to ask...

Thanks in advance for any help!
