As i understand it, the numbers of HE students at associated
colleges are counted as part of the MASN in the 'parent' HEI and
since the Access funds are allocated according to the MASN, the
moeny flows to the 'parent' HEI. At UWE we make our Access fund
forms available at the start of term to all our associate colleges and
the numbers applying and receiving grants are included in our
annual report to HEFCE. The question to answer is who gets the
AUCF for the student and if the answer is the parent body, then that
is who should get the Access fund allocation and therefore be able
to disburse the funds. At least, I hope that's the position!.
