The amendments to the Student Support Regulations increase elements of the student support package and introduce new fee loan caps for eligible students studying at an institution in England or Wales who are undertaking: (i) an Erasmus year (see regulation 2(1) of the Student Support Regulations for the definition of Erasmus year ); (ii) a period of study at an overseas institution; or (iii) a sandwich course (see regulation 2(10) of the Student Support Regulations for the definition of sandwich course ).

Regulation 4(a) amends regulation 2(1) of the Student Support Regulations to introduce a new definition of authority-funded. Regulations 5(b), 6, 10, 13 and 14 make minor amendments to the Student Support Regulations in respect of students who are treated as being in attendance on their course but are unable to attend for a reason which relates to their disability. Regulation 7 amends regulation 19 of the Student Support Regulations to allow students undertaking an Erasmus year of a course starting on or after 1 September 2012 at an institution in England or Wales to qualify for a fee loan. Regulations 4(c) and (e), 11 and 12 make consequential amendments. Regulation 9 makes changes to the maximum amount of fee loan available to eligible students studying at an institution in England or Wales who are undertaking: (i) an Erasmus year; (ii) a period of study at an overseas institution; or (iii) a sandwich year. 16

17 Regulations 15 and 16 amend the provisions in the Student Support Regulations to allow overpayments of loans under Part 6 of those Regulations to be subtracted from any further loans remaining to be paid under Part 6. Regulations 17 and 19 amend the Student Support Regulations to remove references to council tax benefit and allowances under the New Deal in relation to fee and course grants for part-time and designated distance learning courses which started before 1st September Regulation 21 amends Schedule 2 to the Student Support Regulations to remove courses for the further training of youth and community workers from the list of courses that can be designated for student support. Regulation 22 amends Schedule 4 to the Student Support Regulations to remove references to ordinarily resident for the purposes of the calculating an eligible student s parent s taxable income. Regulation 24 makes similar changes to the European University Institute Regulations. Regulation 23 and the Schedule to these Regulations increase the amount of: (i) maintenance grant, special support grant, grants for dependants, loan for living costs and long courses loan for full-time students, (ii).disabled students allowances for full-time, full-time distance learning, parttime and postgraduate students, and (iii) fee grant and course grant for eligible continuing students on part-time and designated distance learning courses. These changes apply in respect of an academic year beginning on or after 1st September An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business, charities or the voluntary sector.
