EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Regulations) These Regulations amend the Education (Student Support) Regulations 2011 ( S.I. 2011/1986 ) (“the Student Support Regulations”), the Education (Postgraduate Master’s Degree Loans) Regulations 2016 ( S.I. 2016/606 ) (“the Postgraduate Regulations”), the Student Fees (Qualifying Courses and Persons) (England) Regulations 2007 ( S.I. 2007/778 ) (“the Qualifying Courses Regulations”), the Education (Fees and Awards) (England) Regulations 2007 ( S.I. 2007/779 ) (“the Fees and Awards Regulations”) and the Education (Student Support) (European University Institute) Regulations 2010 ( S.I. 2010/447 ) (“the European University Institute Regulations”). The principal amendments which these Regulations make to the Student Support Regulations are as follows. Paragraphs (1) and (2) of regulation 3 amend regulations 13 and 40 of the Student Support Regulations respectively so that a person in the armed forces or a family member of such a person may still qualify for a fee loan and the disabled students’ allowance if they are undertaking a full-time distance learning course on the first day of the first academic year of the course outside England but within the United Kingdom. Regulation 3(3) makes a similar amendment to regulation 144 of the Student Support Regulations in respect of fee loans for part-time distance learning courses. Regulation 4(1) amends regulation 19 of the Student Support Regulations to allow the Secretary of State the discretion to determine that, in exceptional circumstances, students who fall within regulation 19(3A) and (9A) qualify for a fee loan in respect of any academic years of the current full-time course, irrespective of whether the student has already completed those academic years. Paragraphs (2), (3) and (4) of regulation 4 make similar amendments to regulations 69, 141 and 144 of the Student Support Regulations in respect of loans for living costs for full-time courses, grants for part-time courses beginning before 1st September 2012 and fee loans for part-time courses beginning on or after 1st September 2012, respectively. Regulation 5 of, and Schedule 1 to, these Regulations update the amount of loan and grant in relation to an academic year which begins on or after 1st August 2018. Part 10 of the Student Support Regulations deals with the provision of support to students undertaking designated distance learning courses. Regulation 6 of these Regulations revokes Part 10 and makes amendments consequential upon that revocation. The amendments made to the Student Support Regulations by regulation 7 create a new category of eligible student: persons granted stateless leave and family members of such persons. Regulation 8 substitutes Schedule 5 to the Student Support Regulations to update the list of private and non-regulated institutions that have a Teaching Excellence and Student Outcomes Framework award for an academic year which begins on or after 1st August 2018. Regulation 9 amends regulation 2(1) of the Student Support Regulations to remove an obsolete reference in the definition of “end-on course”. These Regulations make the following amendments to the Postgraduate Regulations. Regulation 11 amends the description of an eligible student in regulation 3 of the Postgraduate Regulations to ensure that a person in the armed forces or a family member of such a person may still qualify for support under the Postgraduate Regulations if they are undertaking a distance learning course outside England on the first day of the first academic year of the course but within the United Kingdom. Regulation 12 amends regulation 12 of the Postgraduate Regulations to increase the amount of the postgraduate master’s degree loan. Regulation 13 makes amendments to regulation 3 of the Postgraduate Regulations which are consequential upon the revocation of Part 10 of the Student Support Regulations. Regulation 14 creates a new category of eligible student for the purposes of the Postgraduate Regulations: persons granted stateless leave and family members of such persons. Regulation 15 amends Schedule 1 to the Postgraduate Regulations so that persons granted humanitarian protection and their families must be ordinarily resident in England on the first day of the first academic year of their course in order to qualify for support under the Regulations. These Regulations make the following amendments to other sets of Regulations. Regulation 16 of these Regulations amends the Schedule to the Qualifying Courses Regulations to ensure that persons granted stateless leave and family members of such persons may be qualifying persons under those Regulations. The Fees and Awards Regulations provide that, in certain circumstances, it is lawful to discriminate between some or all of the persons mentioned in Schedule 1 to those Regulations and any other person. Regulation 17 of these Regulations inserts a new category of person into Schedule 1 to the Fees and Awards Regulations: persons granted stateless leave and family members of such persons. Regulation 18 of these Regulations amends Schedule 1 to the European University Institute Regulations to ensure that persons granted stateless leave and family members of such persons may be eligible students under those Regulations.
