Dear all
Has anyone implemented a 'course length' criterion for course
eligibility as laid out in the DfEE circular of 23 October 2000 on loan
arrangements for part-time students?
The circular says that the same criteria apply to loans, DSAs and to
eligibility for fee waivers via Access funds, and that as well as load
criteria (ie, at least half the credit load of a ft student with which
we are all familiar), that:
'part-time courses must last for more than one academic year in order to
qualify'
This would clearly exclude all one-year courses and programmes from
support.
Could list members reply off-list to me personally and I'll organise a
digest of responses.
Thanks
Sara
