Dear Colleagues I'm currently working on a fact sheet for admissions staff about the Age Regulations and Admissions. It will cover: - What the Age Regulations cover - Minimum and maximum age on entry - Under-18s and Admissions - Can we call them mature applicants or mature students? - What about entry criteria for mature students? - What about positive action for mature students? I would like to include some more examples of how HEIs are dealing with under-18s. I'm interested in specific admissions policies and broader policies for students who are under 18. Please contact me off-list on [log in to unmask] or on the telephone number below. Many thanks Shelly Shelly Smith Senior Policy Officer Equality Challenge Unit 7th Floor, Queens House 55/56 Lincoln's Inn Fields London, WC2A 3LJ Tel: 020 7438 1010 Fax: 020 7438 1011 E-mail: [log in to unmask] DDI: 020 7438 1024 Web: http://www.ecu.ac.uk/ *******************************DISCLAIMER******************************* **** Equality Challenge Unit Company limited by guarantee, number 05689975 Registered charity, number 1114417 Registered office: 7th Floor, Queens House, 55/56 Lincoln's Inn Fields, London WC2A 3LJ, United Kingdom.
