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
