Student Finance Question

Hi adski815,
Will you be withdrawing from the course year you are on now early? When does the new course begin?
Thanks, Clare

Hi there. Do you only have 1 year of previous study so far? Thanks, Leah.

Hi there,
Can you confirm the full name of your new course and the duration of the course?
Thanks, Drew

Media and Communications -starts September 22 2025 and it would end around June 2026

Thank you. If you only have one year of previous study since leaving school then you'd be funded for your new course. Thanks, Jason

Hi there, that is correct, you just make the application as normal, but for the new course at the new university. Application are currently estimated for 6-8 weeks once submitted. Thanks, Stephen.

So will I need to edit my current application or go to the "re-apply for student finance section" where it says am I going to higher education and the 5 things it tells you

Hi there,
If you're withdrawing from your current course, the university would need to send a change of circumstances to us to confirm this. You would then need to apply as a new student on a PN1 Form found here https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/67ae2bf0a75f02dffca29b1f/sfe_pn1_form_2526_o.pdf
This form needs to be posted back to us, the address is on the form. Applications can take 6-8 weeks to process once we have everything. If you have a current application already, we will cancel this when we receive the PN1 Form.
If you're finishing this year and not withdrawing, you can amend the application you currently have for 25/26. If you click on view/manage your application, change your application and course details. If it doesn't let you do this online, it will give you the option to complete the CO1 Change of Circumstances Form to complete and upload under the evidence upload option.
Thanks,
Claire

Hi there,
I have already submitted by 25/26 application to the new Uni whilst im still in my old one as my classes finish in a month and then when this year finishes I will then withdraw in my first year as I'm moving to a new uni and restarting my first year . So surely if I do that then it won't be problematic?

Hi there,
If you've reapplied for 25/26 and your current university sends us over a 'withdrawal' then you'll need to send us a PN1 form via post so we can assess you as a new student because the previous application was withdrawn. If you complete the full year at the current university and then just transfer then this won't be classed as 'withdrawn' so we don't require a new application or anything further and you'll be classed still as a returning student. Thanks, Jason

Hi
if I finish my current year at my current uni then submit the withdrawl form I have already been accepted into my new university and completed my new student fiance application stating i am continuing my studies for the New university so everything seems to be confirmed. It won't be seen as a transfer as there will be no credits to take over this is just me restarting as a first year back to the start but at somewhere else
