These Regulations amend the Further Education Loans Regulations 2012 (S.I. 2012/1818) (“the 2012 Regulations”).

The Regulations—

  • update the definition of “fees” in regulation 2 of the 2012 Regulations,

  • amend regulation 9 of the 2012 Regulations to provide for students who transfer to a course at a different institution to apply for a new loan in relation to the course at the new institution in all cases, and make related amendments to regulation 18 of the 2012 Regulations, and

  • substitute a new regulation 15 of the 2012 Regulations to clarify the standard loan entitlement where a programme of A Level study is followed, where loans are withheld, repaid, or cancelled in specified circumstances, and where a student transfers to a new institution because the institution at which the student began a course has ceased to be publicly funded.
