Student Finance change from full time to part time

I have applied for full time uni to start in September, but I am considering Open University as an alternative. If I apply for a full time student loan but decide to go with OU before my course starts, can I change my student loans to part time? I can't find a clear answer anywhere and would not be able to pay for anything out of pocket.

Hi there,

If you change to Part Time then you'd need to cancel your Full Time application and make a Part Time application.

Thanks, Ross
