Maintenance loan for distance learning?

Hello, is it possible to get maintenance loan if I will do distance learning? I m about to start UG studies at Arden University, 1st year and it's completely online as distance learning.
Thank you.

Full time.

The full list of evidence required to apply for a Maintenance Loan:
-Medical evidence from your GP and/or Consultant confirming that the your condition prevents you from travelling to/from your university and physically attending your university.
-Evidence (this could be emails/correspondence between the yourself and different universities) detailing that you have had discussions with different universities about the facilities available or accessibility as well as why the universities cannot accommodate the your requirements/needs.
-Written confirmation from yourself on how your condition impacts your day-to-day life.
-Evidence from yourself showing how you support yourself financially i.e. benefits/employment.

Thanks, Isaac

Thanks for reply but I don't have any health condition.
The university offers distance online learning only. Is it still possible to get maintenance loan?
It's Arden University.

Thank you.

Hi, no you are not eligible unless you have a disability that prevents you from physically attending.
Thanks, Isaac

It looks like Isaac from the student finance company has answered your question. I would like to add that I am currently studying at Arden University (MSc Psychology) and I have found their support services to be fantastic. They gave me a lot of advice directly to do with funding and also the nature of the course

Hello,
I noticed, university offers two options: 100% online distance learning only and then second option: blended learning. I actually prefer the blended learning. And I think, in that case I could be eligible for maintenance loan as well? Am I right? Thank you.

It is possible to receive the Maintenance Loan if it's a blended learning course.

Hi @ewa11,
