i already completed an application for 24/25 year however it's been withdrawn.
i'm trying to apply again but it's not letting me (this is because you already have an application for 24/25)

Hi MyLifesBoring,

Are you getting an error message? You should be able to apply for 24/25 again if your previous application is withdrawn.

Thanks,
Calum

Hi there,

Thanks - were any Tuition Fee or Maintenance Loan payments made for your withdrawn application?

Thanks, Graeme

Hi MyLifesBoring,

If the application is showing as 'withdrawn' rather than 'cancelled,' the system wouldn't allow you to make an application for the same academic year. Did you transfer to a different course or are you starting on another intake, for example, were you originally going to start a course in September but are starting a different course in January?

Thanks, Clare

Hi there,

The university would have to send a Non - attendance withdrawal, so that the application can be fully cancelled rather than withdrawn, so that you can make an application for January. If you did attend at any point, a withdrawal would have been the correct process and you would be considered as a multi application student for this year. That would mean that you would need to post a paper PN1 form for the course in January.

Hi MyLifesBoring,

I would advise you to send us a paper application form as my colleague advised if you are unable to apply online. You should be able to apply online regardless of if your previous application is withdrawn or cancelled.

Thanks,
Calum
