Withdrawing from University - Need help fast :(!

If you withdraw from University early student finance stop any future payments for that cycle. So if you are due to receive money in April, you won't get it.
You are entitled to Student Finanace for the length of your course + 1 year.
(This only relates to the tuition fee's though. You can get finance for living costs for more than the 4 years, if you were to do extra degree's and pay tuition fee's yourself.)
If your course is 3 years, you would be entitled to 3 years + 1 extra year of student finance.
OP would use this extra year for, essentially, re doing your second year of a new course.
If you can, I would suggest to hang on. We're almost in Feb so can't imagine there to be much of your course left. I know it is hard, but hang in and ignore those idiots who will probably only fail the course anyway.
Mr Bright Side - If you have completed your first year where you are now, and are transferring to a University which do the same modules in the first year that you just completed, you would be able to go in to your second year - you should correspond with the new Uni beforehand to make sure though.
I am sure that if you repeat a year of University, Student Finance won't pay your tuition fee's for the repeated year. They wouldn't for me.SAVINGS: £63.86 // £3,0000
