Can I get onto another course with compelling reasons?

I have done one year and dropped out, to then do another year on another course and dropped out. The reasons I dropped out both first years on two different subjects was because of mental health. (Depression and anxiety) I couldn't even go into lessons or have the mental willpower to do what I needed to do.

So I have used two years funding and would like now I am older to do a online university course but I think I only can get two more years of funding on a three year course? If I send in compelling reasons about how my mental health affected me and get a doctor's letter for example would I be able to do another course?

Thanks!

Hi there,

Yes you can submit Compelling Personal Reasons for the 2 different years and if approved you can get two years of funding back.

Thanks, Drew

Brilliant! Thank God. Thought I absolutely blew my chances of getting back into university. Would I do this before or after I sign up to a new course? Thanks for your help.

Is the new online course you are doing full time or part time? And were the previous courses full time or part time? Thanks, Leah.
