Maintenance loan repeating year twice

Hi. I'm studying in my final year in a 4 length course but I failed a module so I need to repeat it . I used already my gift year. Will I be eligible for maintenance loan next year as long as I was already funded 4+1 years, both tuition fee and maintenance loan? I've applied as a EU migrant worker.

Hi there, The standard way we calculate funding is as follows:
- Students are entitled to funding for their course duration.
- We then award students an additional year of funding, should they need to repeat or change their course.
- We then take any previous study into consideration and this then gives a student their entitlement available for their course.
If there were mitigating circumstances as to why you didn't complete your previous course then you can apply for what is called Compelling Personal Reasons.
