Regulation 69 Transfer of status
Where an eligible part-time student transfers to another part-time course, the National Assembly must transfer the student’s status as an eligible part-time student to that course where —
it receives a request from the eligible part-time student to do so;
it is satisfied that one or more of the grounds for transfer in paragraph (2) applies; and
the period of eligibility has not expired or been terminated.
The grounds for transfer referred to in paragraph (1) are —
the eligible part-time student starts to undertake another designated part-time course at the institution;
the eligible part-time student starts to undertake a designated part-time course at another institution; or
after commencing a designated part-time course for a first degree (other than an honours degree) the eligible part-time student is, before the completion of that course, admitted to a designated part-time course for an honours degree in the same subject or subjects at the institution.
Subject to paragraph (4), an eligible part-time student who transfers under paragraph (1) shall, for the remainder of the academic year in which he or she transfers, continue to receive in connection with the course to which he or she transfers the support for which the National Assembly has determined he or she qualifies in respect of the course from which he or she transfers.
The National Assembly may re-assess the amount of support payable after the transfer in accordance with this Part.
An eligible student who transfers under paragraph (1) after the National Assembly has determined his or her support in connection with the academic year of the course from which he or she is transferring but before he or she completes that year may not apply for another grant under regulation 65(1) (b) or regulation 66 in connection with the academic year of the course to which he or she transfers.
Where a student transfers under paragraph (1), the maximum amount of assistance under regulation 65(1)(a) in respect of the academic years to and from which he or she transfers is the amount of assistance with fees available in connection with the course which has the highest intensity of study as defined in regulation 65.
