Regulation 12 Transfer of eligibility
Where an eligible student transfers to another designated course at the Institute, the Secretary of State must transfer the student's status as an eligible student where—
the Secretary of State receives a request from the eligible student to do so;
the Secretary of State is satisfied that the eligible student has begun to attend that other course on the recommendation of the academic authority; and
the student's status as an eligible student has not terminated.
Paragraph (1) applies to a person who is an eligible student by virtue of regulation 9(2)(b)(ii) only where that person’s status as an eligible student has not been transferred on or after 1st August 2021 from the designated course referred to in regulation 9(2A)(a) to another designated course.
An eligible student who transfers under paragraph (1) shall receive in connection with the academic year of the course to which that eligible student transfers the remainder of the support assessed by the Secretary of State in respect of the academic year of the course from which the eligible student transfers.
An eligible student (“A”) who transfers under paragraph (1) after the Secretary of State has assessed support in connection with the academic year of the course from which A is transferring but before A completes that year may not, in connection with the academic year of the course to which A transfers, apply for another grant of a kind that A has already applied for under these Regulations in connection with the academic year of the course from which A is transferring.
