You've changed your course or programme

If your course or programme of study has changed, you need to let us know straight away.

What you need to do

Your Student Allowance and Student Loan living costs payments may stop. We'll let you know if this will happen when you contact us.

If you're now studying at a different education provider, we consider that you've withdrawn from your original course. So you also need to complete a returning application in MyStudyLink.

You'll need to meet the passing requirements to get another Student Allowance and Student Loan.
