Hi,
I am thinking of withdrawing completely or deferring from my course. I need to know how this will affect me Student Finance-wise.
I am in the middle of the academic year, studying my first year of a nursing degree, and I have received so far the tuition fee and maintenance loans from Student Finance.
However, I am thinking of deferring or withdrawing completely, so my questions are as follows:
Assuming that I completely withdraw from the degree, will this stop me from being able to borrow money from Student Finance in the future, when I reapply but in a different university? (In terms of extra information, the university have so far received at least one part of the tuition fee loan this year and I myself have received 2 maintenance loans so far this year).
Also, assuming that I withdraw completely from the degree, do I need to directly contact Student Finance to let them know that I have withdrawn, or does the university do that themselves? Or do I sit back and just let Student Finance continue to pay out money?
Sorry for the questions but I am genuinely ignorant when it comes to the way Student Finance works, I have no clue.
I'm almost certain I am going to withdraw completely from this university and then reapply in a few years' time, to a university closer to home.
