From full to distance learning

Hi there,
I am a full time student, foundation year, finishing in August, 120 credits, but because my medical condition (PTSD) I want to "jump" to part time/distance learning from September, 2024, with OU.
SFE knows about my medical condition because they approved my DSA.
Now the question: Can I change everything online from my SLC account or there is something else to do?!
Do I need to send the CO1 form to them?!
Am I missing something else?!
I tried to change it on my account, I found the Uni but not the course.
And another Q: will SFE going to pay for 6 years of studies, because there are 60 credits per year only?
Or 4 years only if my 120 credits count for my new course?!
Anyway, the price is lower... 🙂
£3636 per year × 6 = £21.816 instead of £27.750 for 3 years as a full student...
Please, advise... 🙏
Thank you in advance!
