the Secretary of State has determined that, by virtue of being a refugee or the spouse, civil partner, child or step-child of a refugee, a person (“A”) was an eligible student in connection with—

(i)

an application for support for an earlier year of the current course, or

(ii)

an application for support in connection with a designated course from which A’s status as an eligible student has been transferred to the current course, and

(b)

as at the day before the course year in respect of which A is applying for support begins, the refugee status of A or of A’s spouse, civil partner, parent or step-parent (as the case may be) has expired and—

(i)

no further leave to remain has been granted and paragraphs SUI 13.1 and 13.2 of Part Suitability of the immigration rules do not apply in respect of an application for such leave,

(ii)

no appeal is pending (within the meaning of section 104 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002), and

(iii)

the person (A or A’s spouse, civil partner, parent or step-parent) whose refugee status has expired has not become a British or Irish citizen,

A’s status as an eligible student terminates immediately before the first day of the course year in respect of which A is applying for support.
