Regulation 14 Maximum number of credits

In this regulation (but see regulation 9(4))—
paragraphs (3) and (4) make provision in relation to activities other than repeat study;
paragraph (5) makes provision in relation to repeat study;
paragraph (6) makes provision in relation to all activities.
For a course year that does not include credit-differentiated activity, the maximum number of credits is the lower of—
the per-year amount, or
the per-course amount for the activity, less the number of credits from the per-course amount for the activity that were charged for in previous years of the course.
For a course year that includes credit-differentiated activity, in respect of each credit-differentiated activity, the maximum number of credits is the per-course amount for the activity, less the number of credits from that per-course amount that were charged for in previous years of the course.
The maximum number of credits for repeat study is—
where a course year is comprised only of repeat study, 180 credits, or
where repeat study is a credit-differentiated activity undertaken during a course year, the per-year amount less the credits attached to other credit-differentiated activities within the course year.
For the purposes of paragraph 1C(4)(a) of Schedule 2 to the 2017 Act—
the maximum number of credits for the course year is set at 180 credits, and
in the event that the sum of the maximum numbers for all credit-differentiated activities adds up to more than 180 credits, the provider is to decide which credits to charge for up to and including 180 credits.
