Reasons beyond your control

This is a definition for reasons beyond your control for not meeting the performance requirements for Student Allowance or Student Loan.

If you do not meet the performance requirements for Student Allowances or Student Loans you may still be entitled to receive another Student Allowance or Student Loan if you can show you didn't pass at least half because of a reason beyond your control such as illness.

Reasons beyond your control may include but are not limited to:

  • medical, social, or psychological reasons which prevented you from passing your course
  • course cancellation - where your education provider has cancelled or changed the course or withdrawn tuition.
