SFE - Returning Student - Nursing

Hi 25Poolethegal,

If you have 3 years of previous study, and are looking to attend a new 3 year course, the calculation would be 3+1-3= 1 year left of full support applied to year 3 of the new course. The 1st and 2nd year would only have the Maintenance Loan and grants awarded where applicable as you would need to self fund your Tuition Fees. You mentioned Compelling Personal Reasons, therefore you might be able to get the Tuition Fee Loan for years 1 and 2 if you can provide evidence for the 2 repeat years being interrupted due to your circumstances at the time. We can accept a letter from a 3rd party professional that would confirm what happened, when this happened and how this directly impacted your studies. You would just apply as normal and upload the evidence along with a cover letter to your account explaining that you wish to apply for the Tuition Fee Loan for both years due to your Compelling Personal Reasons.

Hi there. Can you please confirm the full name of the course and University you are looking to now study? Thanks, David

Hi there. Nursing is an exception course, so as long as it's an eligible nursing course we wouldn't take your previous study into account. Therefore you would have access to full funding without evidence. Thanks, Leah.

Hi Leah,
That’s absolutely lovely, thank you so much for your reply! Can I just double check what counts as an eligible nursing course, or what makes it not eligible? Sorry if that sounds like a stupid question!!
