(ii)by one third, where the student transfers to a designated part-time course at the beginning of the third quarter of that academic year; and
(b)the maximum amount of any loan under Part 11B to which the student would be entitled in connection with the designated part-time course in respect of that academic year if the student had been an eligible part-time student throughout that year is reduced—
(i)by one third, where the student transfers to a designated part-time course at the beginning of the second quarter of that academic year;
(ii)by two thirds, where the student transfers to a designated part-time course at the beginning of the third quarter of that academic year.
(5) This paragraph applies where an eligible student—
(a)transfers under paragraph (1); and

C is the maximum amount of loan to which the student would be entitled in the conversion year under Part 6 were it not for the transfer; and
