What exactly is classed as "full time" at University for funding?

I have been made an offer for 1st year or 2nd year entry on my degree course. I have since pointed out to the university that I cannot actually meet the requirement for year 2 entry because my current OU course exam is not until October and they need confirmation I have passed by the end of August.
Their suggestion has been to count my previous OU course as year 1 meaning I do 3 year 1 modules instead of 6, and my current level 2 course as year two, meaning again I will only have to do 3 modules, not 6. In theory this sounds good, but will this mean i'm not a full time student so not entitled to the full funding?
Why is nothing ever straight forward...:doh:

What does your university say they will class you as? Will they be charging your tuition fees as a part-time student or a full time student?0

The answer, say the University, is full time because it will still be competed in 3 years. The admissions tutor inexpectedly emailed me; i wasn't expecting them to be working this week."On behalf of teachers, I'd like to dedicate this award to Michael Gove and I mean dedicate in the Anglo Saxon sense which means insert roughly into the anus of."

If you're enrolled on a full time course, you'll be ok for funding. Sounds to me as if you are, so you're fine, even with the reduced modules.0
