For uni. Student loans and all that

ohhhh T.T

Why is it always a billion times more complicated when you're trying to apply as a part-time student...

As far as I know, I've submitted the application, but I'd be damned if I did any of it right

woww ur only gonna be part time? why not fulltime?

It's the way they messed up my transfer from my last degree. They didn't process it until nearly 5 months into the new academic year last year. This is the only way I can get through my degree if I want to complete it properly. Honestly, none of how my new degree has turned out shouldn't have happened.

Next year I'll be back full time (I have to be to do the dissertation).

It does, because their enrolment process asks us to confirm how much our finance provider will offer to pay off our loans. Since I'm part-time and doing a mess of modules from a split academic year that's not exactly Autumn-Spring oriented, my finances are all over the place.

There's a whole complicated process behind it but the short answer is that I can't do one thing without the other, meanwhile uni refuses to do their part because of missing info I can't provide.
