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
