(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Higher Education (Registration Fees) (England) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/543) (“the 2019 Regulations”).

Regulation 2 increases by 3.9% the ongoing fee set out in the 2019 Regulations which the Office of Students (“OfS”), the regulator for higher education in England, may charge an institution for its registration in the register of English higher education providers. The register is maintained by the OfS under section 3 of the Higher Education and Research Act 2017 (c.29). By virtue of regulation 1(3), the increase applies to the amount of the ongoing fee payable by an institution on or after 1st August 2025.

A full impact assessment has not been produced for these Regulations because no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen.
