Transferring to part time on Doctoral Loan
Hi,
I'm about to start the 3rd year of my PhD in November, and I'm recieving the Doctoral Loan over 4 years.
If I move to part time in my 4th year, extending my PhD to 5 years, will the doctoral loan payments for my 4th year be split evenly in half to cover the extra year?
Thanks,
Dustin

Hi Dustin,
We'd need the university to confirm that you've changed to Part Time for your last 2 years. They'd need to send an electronic change of circumstances to us.
Have you started your fourth year?
Thanks,
Ross
