Maintenance loan and changing from part time to full time studies

Hi Anta,

If you can delete your customer reference please as we can't access accounts on this platform and that's your own unique number for security. When are you looking to change your course to full time and have you already enrolled this year? Thanks, Jason

Hi,

I've responded to your other thread. If you can keep all responses to the one thread, please and we'll respond tomorrow to you. Thanks, Jason

Hello,
Ok no problem. Thank you very much
Anta

Hi Anta,

Thank you - last of all, what is the full name of your course?

Thanks, Graeme

Hello Graeme,

My full name is Anta Sow Sow
My course is the MSc of Nutrition for Global Health at LSHTM
Thanks
Anta

Thanks, yes - you can decide to change to full-time, that's fine.

To do this you just need to ask your university to send us a Change of Circumstances (COC) to let us know. We'll then update your application.

This means that, instead of receiving your Postgraduate Loan payments over two or three years you can get them over one year instead.

Thanks, Graeme

Ok great thanks. Besides this, In order to be able to study full time I would need a maintenance loan for my living expenses. Can I also apply for that ?

Thanks,

Anta

You can't, unfortunately - you're entitled to the Masters Loan but Masters courses don't attract the Maintenance Loan as well.

However, it's definitely worth asking your university's Finance team to see if they can offer any help or advice.

Thanks, Graeme

Ok no worries, thanks for letting me know. I will ask my university about it Thanks Graeme.
