Are Your Circumstances Changing?

Interrupting, transferring or withdrawing from your course could affect your funding

Here’s a summary of what may happen if you interrupt, transfer or withdraw from your studies. Book an appointment with us to discuss how your individual circumstances and study history will affect your funding entitlement.

If you are a full time undergraduate student (not funded through the NHS bursary) and you interrupt your studies or withdraw from your course, your funding will be affected for the time that you are out of studies.

Depending on your previous study, your funding for future years may also be affected. Please book an appointment with us before you leave your course so that we can discuss the financial implications and help you minimise the impact of these wherever possible.

There is some information on how it may be affected for future years here https://www.southwales.ac.uk/money/undergraduate-fees-and-funding/undergraduate-student-finance/previous-study/

If you are transferring before beginning the course, ask your student funding body to change your course, to the correct course before you begin your studies.

Already started your course? Submit a ‘change of circumstances’ request and please make an appointment with a Money Adviser before changing your course so that we can check if there will be any financial implications of this change.

If you’re studying a Nursing course funding by NHS Wales, speak to them about the funding implications or book an appointment with a money adviser so we can explain these to you.
