Tuition fee loan - previous study

I started studying at Southampton uni back in 2020 but had to leave withdraw two months into my second year due to bad mental health and anxiety.

I started studying with the open University in 2022 but have now had to change the course I was studying this year. The length of the new course is going to be 4 years, but I will technically already be in my second year as some of my previous study will carry over.

Will I still be able to get a tuition fee loan for this new course?

Hi there, when you studied with the Open University, did you receive any qualifications from this period of study? Thanks, Stephen

Hi Snippyahsoka,

Thank you for confirming. Are you now going to study a new full time course? If so, we will only take your previous full time study years into account as you didn't obtain a qualification from your part time study.

My new course is still with the Open university so it will still be part time.

Thank you. If you don't hold a qualification and are still studying part time then you'd be eligible for fees without any evidence being required. Thanks, Jason
