Students agree to the regulations when they enrol, either by signing 
their enrolment form if they are a first year or by confirmation of a 
statement when they reenol online.

It is a new regulation introduced this year, so we have not yet had it 
tested in the way you suggest. However our advice was that, provided we 
had notified the student in writing that they had been enrolled on this 
basis, and given them the opportunity to challenge, we would be on 
reasonably secure legal ground.
