If you pick up papers, you need to let us know straight away as your payments could be affected.
Picking up papers means you could change from part-time to full-time study.
We use a measurement called EFTS (Equivalent Full-time Student) to work out if you're studying full-time or part-time.
If you have additional fees that need to be paid, let us know. We'll organise to pay these through your Student Loan. If you don't already have a Student Loan you'll need to apply online for one.
If you've changed from part-time to full-time study, you may be able to get:
You can apply online for a Student Allowance or Student Loan (if you don't already have one).
If you've already applied for a Student Allowance and it was declined, we'll send you a letter to let you know what you need to do.
If you already have a Student Loan, you don't need to submit a new application. You can claim for course-related costs or update your living costs in MyStudyLink.
If you're going into full-time study, you may not be able to stay on your benefit. You need to talk to Work and Income about how it will affect your payments.
