regulations, could anyone help me.

Does anyone here know the regulations for student finance?

I would like to know two questions.

1. I have been a previous OU student for 2 years and I got no qualifications at all, I failed the module as I found it too demanding at the time. Would this count towards my eligibility of a full student finance for a 3 year honours degree at a brick uni?

2. I have recently moved into my boyfriends house with his parents. So I'm not living with parents or guardians, I don't own the house and I'm not flat sharing. But I suppose i'll have to put flat sharing. Can anyone advise whether my parents income will still be taken into account or do I just put 0? I can't see how my parents should be taken into account when I have fell out with them and no longer with them or have anything to do with them.

Hopefully someone can help point me in the right direction

I've managed to find the regulations here:
legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2007/176/contents/made
However, it does not seem to distinguish between part and full time students in terms of 'previous study. I get the impression that the regulations assume standard full time study in academic years.

So I'm still no closer.

Okay an alternative, has anyone been awarded full funding for a 3 years honours degree at a proper university, after studying at the open university for 2 or more years but receiving no qualifications?

If you are studying for a 3 year degree you'll receive funding for 4 years on the basis of the formula length of course +1, so you should be ok.

You won't be counted as an independent student unless you've reached 25, are responsible fpr a child or have supported yourself fpr a minimum of 3 years. Where you live is irrelevant.
