I echo Nancy's concerns; the implication is that we will have to keep a
record of all the application forms that we certify and cross-reference this
to every withdrawal/transfer/suspension form received in respect of a
part-time student so that we can notify the LEA concerned. Indeed, the LEA
may not, in the end, have assessed the student as personally/financially
eligible to receive a loan so we could be wasting our time ! Additionally,
it isn't always obvious from a student's address which LEA would be
responsible for assessing the eligibility; should we collect this
information from the student when we certify the form? It would have been
much easier if the Student Support Number allocated on pages 8 & 9 had
already been provided before HEIs were required to certify the forms. I
don't know about other HEIs but the additional administrative burden imposed
by the new Student Support regulations is slowly bringing us to our knees
