Based on the specification and deadline contained in the letter dated 30
November 1998 from Jacqueline Fernie of the Student Loans Company we have
compiled an Excel spreadsheet of our course years and their term dates. This
spreadsheet extends to over 800 rows.
I do not think it can be acceptable for the Student Loans Company in its
letter dated 16 March 1999 to change its procedures for the collection of
course term dates at this late stage.
As I interpret it, the 16 March letter requires term dates to be returned by
1 April 1999 to SLC who will distribute these to LEAs on 9 April 1999.
I have raised this matter with SLC and one of their staff is evaluating
whether our spreadsheet will be acceptable.
