I recently attended a meeting on behalf of AMOSSHE at the
DfEE on the question of monitoring the new arrangements for
student support. They have been asked by Ministers to
ensure that HEIs fully understand the new student support
arrangements (including fees, grants, loans, Access Funds
and hardship loans) and will be able to implement them in
the autumn. I made the comment that I thought most people
were now fine on the main parts but sometimes were unsure
about some of the details, particularly in relation to
particular groups or sub-groups of students. As a result I
have been asked to provide a list of queries so that they
can draw up a document answering frequently asked
questions. Please let me know if you have any issues you
would like to have included in this either because you
still don't know the answers or because it's something
you've struggled over and think other people may also be!
I look forward to hearing from you.
