Regulation 12 Period of eligibility – general rule

A student's status as an eligible student in connection with a designated course is retained until the end of the student's period of eligibility unless terminated in accordance with regulation F119, 20, 22, 22A, 23, 23A, 23B, 23C, F223D, F323E, 23F or 23G.

A student's period of eligibility ends at the end of the academic year in which the student completes the designated course.

the student's period of eligibility for the course is restricted to the maximum period of eligibility specified in the applicable regulation for the category of support specified in that regulation.

Where a student's eligibility for support is restricted under regulation 14, 15 or 16 so that the number of academic years in respect of which the category of support specified in the regulation in question is available is less than the ordinary duration of the present course, the category of support so specified is available in respect of the latest academic years of the course.
