tuition fee loan

Hi, I need some advice regarding funding for tuition loan.

I was on a four year course, I had to retake my first year once and then in my third year I didn't pass the year due to extenuating circumstances. I was told since it was a four year course, i had four years + gift year which I used in my first year. I thought id have one year left since ive used (3 years + gift year). My course didnt allow me to retake third year, so i transferred to a different course thats allowed me to transfer to the final year, so i only need funding for one year. Will i be eligible for this funding?

Hi there, We can consider awarding funding for Compelling Personal Reasons that prevented you having to complete the previous course. You’ll need to send a letter to us detailing your Compelling Personal Reasons (CPR) along with any evidence of your mitigating circumstances.

Where applicable, we recommend the evidence is:

- Signed and dated
- Confirms the reason why you could not continue with your studies and
- When this took place

Photocopies of all evidence can be accepted and this evidence can include:

- Medical evidence from a GP on headed paper
- Letter from HEP on headed paper
- Letter from Social Services on headed paper
- Letter from clergy or professional person on headed paper
- Death Certificate
- A Birth Certificate

We can then determine if funding can be awarded for the course you have changed to.
Thanks, Angela
