Hey all,

I am a student on my summer hols.......Am I able to sign on just for the summer period?


I am currently working for an agency but work is very hit and miss...and I have rent to pay.

Not sure what I can do.

    No, you are not allowed to sign on just for during the holidays. You could try looking for another job whilst with the agency so that you can get something a bit better.

    No. You are considered a full time student for the duration of your course including holidays. Any student loan you get is supposed to cover you over the holiday periods too, hence you get a reduced loan in your final year.
