Once you have officially let your university know that you have left they will let Student Finance England know that you’ve withdrawn from your course. They will then reassess your finance and base this on the number of days you attended your course and we’re an officially registered student. They will also halt any future payments to both you and your university. You will be formally sent a new student finance entitlement letter summarising all the details.
