# The Universal Credit (Transitional Provisions) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2016, Regulation 61: Protection for full-time students until course completed


(1) Where a person who has made a qualifying claim does not meet the basic condition in Article 9(1)(d) of the Order (not receiving education) on the migration day because the person is undertaking a full-time course (see regulation 12(2) and 13 of the Universal Credit Regulations), that condition is not to apply in relation to the person while they are continuing to undertake that course.
(2) Paragraph (1) does not apply to any assessment period in respect of which a transitional element or transitional capital disregard would (if the claimant had been entitled to that element or that disregard) have ceased to apply by virtue of regulation 57 (circumstances in which transitional protection ceases) or regulation 58 (application of transitional protection to a subsequent award).”.
