(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") and the Education (Student Support) (European University Institute) Regulations 2010 (S.I. 2010/447) ("the European University Institute Regulations").
The amendments to the Student Support Regulations increase elements of the student support package and introduce new fee loan caps for eligible students studying at an institution in England or Wales who are undertaking: (i) an Erasmus year (see regulation 2(1) of the Student Support Regulations for the definition of "Erasmus year"); (ii) a period of study at an overseas institution; or (iii) a sandwich course (see regulation 2(10) of the Student Support Regulations for the definition of "sandwich course"). They also amend the definition of Erasmus year and change the conditions which must be satisfied for a course to be designated under the Student Support Regulations. These amendments come into force on 1 September 2013 and apply in respect of an academic year beginning on or after 1 September 2014.
These Regulations also make various other minor amendments to the Student Support Regulations and the European University Institute Regulations which come into force on 1st August 2013.
Regulation 4(b) amends the definition of an Erasmus year in the Student Support Regulations. Students undertaking courses starting on or after 1 September 2012 at an institution in England or Wales will qualify for the same amount of fee loan whether they are on an Erasmus year or undertaking a course provided in conjunction with an overseas institution which is outside the Erasmus scheme.
Regulations 4(d) and 8 make minor amendments to the Student Support Regulations in respect of the standard entitlement of students undertaking end-on courses and certain degree courses.
Regulations 5(a), 5(c), 18 and 20 make changes to the conditions which must be satisfied for a course to be designated under the Student Support Regulations. To be automatically designated a course will either need to be: (i) wholly provided by an authority-funded educational institution, (ii) provided by a publicly funded institution in the United Kingdom on behalf of an authority-funded educational institution; or (iii) provided by an authority-funded educational institution in conjunction with an institution outside the United Kingdom. Regulation 4(a) amends regulation 2(1) of the Student Support Regulations to introduce a new definition of "authority-funded".
Regulations 5(b), 6, 10, 13 and 14 make minor amendments to the Student Support Regulations in respect of students who are treated as being in attendance on their course but are unable to attend for a reason which relates to their disability.
Regulation 7 amends regulation 19 of the Student Support Regulations to allow students undertaking an Erasmus year of a course starting on or after 1 September 2012 at an institution in England or Wales to qualify for a fee loan. Regulations 4(c) and (e), 11 and 12 make consequential amendments.
Regulation 9 makes changes to the maximum amount of fee loan available to eligible students studying at an institution in England or Wales who are undertaking: (i) an Erasmus year; (ii) a period of study at an overseas institution; or (iii) a sandwich year.
Regulations 15 and 16 amend the provisions in the Student Support Regulations to allow overpayments of loans under Part 6 of those Regulations to be subtracted from any further loans remaining to be paid under Part 6.
Regulations 17 and 19 amend the Student Support Regulations to remove references to council tax benefit and allowances under the New Deal in relation to fee and course grants for part-time and designated distance learning courses which started before 1st September 2012.
Regulation 21 amends Schedule 2 to the Student Support Regulations to remove courses for the further training of youth and community workers from the list of courses that can be designated for student support.
Regulation 22 amends Schedule 4 to the Student Support Regulations to remove references to ‘ordinarily resident' for the purposes of the calculating an eligible student's parent's taxable income. Regulation 24 makes similar changes to the European University Institute Regulations.
Regulation 23 and the Schedule to these Regulations increase the amount of: (i) maintenance grant, special support grant, grants for dependants, loan for living costs and long courses loan for full-time students, (ii).disabled students' allowances for full-time, full-time distance learning, part-time and postgraduate students, and (iii) fee grant and course grant for eligible continuing students on part-time and designated distance learning courses. These changes apply in respect of an academic year beginning on or after 1st September 2014.
