Dear Hannah
I would suspect that they would come under the new regime, as their course wouldn’t start until 2015, however I expect that this will need to be put to the test!

Subject: Re: Changes to DSA query
Hi Lesley,
Thank you for your response.
We had seen that guidance but felt it needed further clarification. For example, if the student applied for DSA in 14/15 and had their needs assessment/entitlements agreed, but then had to defer due to a change in circumstances would they still be affected by the changes?
As obviously in this case, 15/16 would not be the first time they had applied. But if they were awarded DSA in line with the 14/15 regulations there is potential for a two tier system.
Any thoughts?
Best wishes,
Hannah French

Hi Hannah,
The information states that:
This change will apply to all full-time, full-time distance learning, part-time and postgraduate students applying for DSA for the first time in respect of an academic year beginning on or after 1 September 2015.
So unfortunately this student will be affected by the changes.

Subject: Changes to DSA query
Morning,
We have had a query today from a pre-entry student about the changes to DSA.
Does anyone know if students apply to study this September, but then defer to September 2015 - will they still be able to access the support as it is or will they be affected by the changes from 15/16? I cannot find this information anywhere.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thank you,
