Passing your course when you get Student Allowance
You must meet the passing requirements to be able to get another Student Allowance.
We work this out based on EFTS.
For the last course you got a Student Allowance for, we look at:
- how many EFTS your course needs to be considered full-time
- how many EFTS you passed.
You need to have passed more than half the EFTS your course needs to be considered full-time.
Example of full-year study
Your course must be at least 0.8 EFTS to be considered full-time.
Your course or what you’re studying may be more EFTS than this.
However your passing requirements for us is more than 0.4 EFTS, no matter how many EFTS your course is or you’re actually studying.
Example of semester study
Your course must be at least 0.4 EFTS to be considered full-time.
Your course or what you’re studying may be more EFTS than this.
However your passing requirements for us is more than 0.2 EFTS, no matter how many EFTS your course is or you’re actually studying.
