Paragraph 1B F1

(1)

Regulations must, in relation to each course year for which the credit-based method is to be used, make provision about the circumstances in which the course year is to be regarded as having a number of credits attached to it for the purposes of paragraphs 1D and 1E.

(2)

Such regulations may, for instance, provide that the course year is to be regarded as having a number of credits attached to it if—

(a)

that number of credits is notified in relation to the year by the provider of the course to a particular person by a particular date;

(b)

in arriving at that number, a particular number of credits is used by the provider to denote each hour of learning time.

(3)

Regulations may, in relation to a course year for which the credit-based method is to be used—

(a)

provide for a particular description of activity to be undertaken during the course year to be “credit-differentiated activity”, and

(b)

make provision about the circumstances in which a number of credits, out of those that are regarded as attached to the course year, are to be further regarded as attached to the credit-differentiated activity.

(4)

Credits are not to be regarded for the purposes of paragraphs 1D and 1E as attached to a course year, or to activity undertaken during a course year, except by virtue of regulations under sub-paragraph (1) or (3).
