  • (c) in the case of a parent student or an eligible student’s parent who holds a statutory award, £1,050.
  • (3) Where the Department is satisfied that the income of the parent in the financial year beginning immediately before the relevant year (“the current financial year”) is likely to be not more than 85 per cent. of the sterling value of his income in the preceding financial year he may, for the purpose of enabling the eligible student to attend the course without hardship, ascertain the parent’s income for the current financial year.
  • (4) Where the Department is satisfied that the income of the parent in any financial year is, as a result of any event, likely to be and to continue after that year to be not more than 85 per cent. of the sterling value of his income in the previous financial year he may, for the purpose of enabling the eligible student to attend the course without hardship, ascertain the household income for the academic year of the eligible student’s course in which that event occurred by taking as the residual income of the parent the average of his residual income for each of the financial years in which that academic year falls.
  • (5) Where the eligible student’s parent satisfies the Department that his income is wholly or mainly derived from the profits of a business or profession carried on by him, then any reference in this Schedule to a preceding financial year means the earliest period of twelve months which ends after the start of the preceding financial year and in respect of which accounts are kept relating to that business or profession.
  • (6) Where an eligible student’s parent is in receipt of any income which does not form part of his income for the purposes of the Income Tax Acts or the income tax legislation of another Member State by reason only that—
  • (a) he is not resident, ordinarily resident or domiciled in the United Kingdom, or where his income is computed as for the purposes of the income tax legislation of another Member State, not so resident, ordinarily resident or domiciled in that Member State;
  • (b) the income does not arise in the United Kingdom, or where the parent’s income is computed as for the purposes of the income tax legislation of another Member State, does not arise in that Member State; or
  • (c) the income arises from an office, service or employment, income from which is exempt from tax in pursuance of any legislation,

his taxable income for the purposes of this Schedule is computed as though the income under this sub-paragraph were part of his income for the purposes of the Income Tax Acts or the income tax legislation of another Member State, as the case may be.

  • (7) Where the income of the eligible student’s parent is computed as for the purposes of the income tax legislation of another Member State, it is computed under the provisions of this Schedule in the currency of that Member State and the income of the eligible student’s parent for the purposes of this Schedule is the sterling value of that income determined in accordance with the rate for the month in which the last day of the financial year in question falls, as published by the Office for National Statistics.
  • (8) Where one of the eligible student’s parents dies either before or during the relevant year and that parent’s income has been or would be taken into account for the purpose of determining the household income, the household income is—
  • (a) where the parent dies before the relevant year, determined by reference to the income of the surviving parent; or
  • (b) where the parent dies during the relevant year, the aggregate of—
  • (i) the appropriate proportion of the household income determined by reference to the income of both parents, being the proportion in respect of that part of the relevant year during which both parents were alive; and
  • (ii) the appropriate proportion of the household income determined by reference to the income of the surviving parent, being the proportion in respect of that part of the relevant year remaining after the death of the other parent.
  • (9) Where the Department determines that the parents are separated for the duration of the relevant year, the household income is determined by reference to the income of whichever parent the Department considers the more appropriate under the circumstances.
  • (10) Where the Department determines that the parents have separated in the course of the relevant year, the household income is determined by reference to the aggregate of—
  • (a) the appropriate proportion of the household income determined in accordance with sub-paragraph (9), being the proportion in respect of that part of the relevant year during which the parents are separated; and
  • (b) the appropriate proportion of the household income determined otherwise in respect of the remainder of the relevant year.

Calculation of eligible student’s partner’s residual income

6
  • (1) Subject to sub-paragraphs (2), (3) and (4) an eligible student’s partner’s income is determined in accordance with paragraph 5 (other than sub-paragraphs (8), (9) and (10) of paragraph 5), references to the parent being construed as references to the eligible student’s partner.
  • (2) Where the Department determines that the eligible student and his partner are separated for the duration of the relevant year, the partner’s income is not taken into account in determining the household income.
  • (3) Where the Department determines that the eligible student and his partner have separated in the course of the relevant year, the partner’s income is determined by reference to his income under sub-paragraph (1) divided by fifty-two and multiplied by the number of complete weeks in the relevant year for which the Department determines that the eligible student and his partner are not separated.
  • (4) Where an eligible student has more than one partner in any one academic year, the provisions of this paragraph apply in relation to each.

Calculation of parent’s partner’s residual income

7

The income of a new eligible student’s parent’s partner whose income is part of the household income by virtue of paragraph 3(2)(a) is determined in accordance with paragraph 6, references to the eligible student’s partner being construed as references to the new eligible student’s parent’s partner, and references to the eligible student being construed as references to the new eligible student’s parent.

Split contributions – eligible students who are not independent

10
  • (1) This paragraph applies where a contribution is payable in relation to an eligible student who is not an independent eligible student.
  • (2) Sub-paragraphs (3) to (7) apply where the children who are eligible students are either all old system students or are all new system students.
  • (3) For any year in which a statutory award other than an award referred to in sub-paragraph (4) is held by—
  • (i) more than one child of the eligible student’s parents;
  • (ii) the eligible student’s parent; or
  • (iii) the eligible student’s parent’s partner,
  • the contribution payable in respect of the eligible student is such proportion of any contribution calculated under paragraph 8 or 9 as the Department after consultation with any other authority involved considers just taking into account the application of paragraph 7 to new eligible students and existing students respectively.
  • (4) Subject to the following sub-paragraphs, for any year in which an award payable under these Regulations, the Education (Student Awards) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2003[^f00080], the 1986 Order or section 63 of the Health Services and Public Health Act 1968[^f00081] (and no other statutory award) is held by more than one child of the eligible student’s parents, the contribution payable in respect of the eligible student shall be an amount equal to the contribution calculated under paragraph 8 divided by the number of children of his parents who hold a relevant statutory award;
  • (5) If, as a result of the apportionment under sub-paragraph (4), the contribution would not be extinguished by applying it in respect of the eligible student’s statutory award, the remainder of the contribution is instead applied—
  • (i) first in relation to the smallest statutory award (or each such statutory award) to which the contribution may apply; and
  • (ii) then, in increasing order of size, in relation to each remaining statutory award to which the contribution may apply, until the balance of the contribution can be apportioned equally without any part of it remaining or until there remains no part of any statutory award to which the contribution has not been applied.
  • (6) Where—
  • (a) the eligible student’s parent whose income is assessed under this Schedule has a partner;
  • (b) a contribution taking into account the residual income of that parent is payable in relation to more than one eligible student who is the child of either that parent or his partner; and
  • (c) the amount payable in relation to each eligible student is not the same in every case,

the contribution in respect of each eligible student is calculated under sub-paragraph (7).

  • (7) Where sub-paragraph (6) applies, the contribution in respect of an eligible student is an amount equal to the contribution calculated under paragraph 8 or 9 divided by the number of eligible students referred to in paragraph (b) of sub-paragraph (6) in relation to whom a contribution is payable and where the contribution is not extinguished by applying it in respect of the eligible student’s statutory award, the remainder of the contribution is applied in the same way as in sub-paragraph (5) to the relevant statutory award of the eligible students in his relevant household.
  • (8) Where—
  • (a) a contribution taking into account the residual income of the parent of an eligible student is payable in relation to more than one eligible student who is the child of that parent or of the parent’s partner; and
  • (b) the amount payable in relation to each eligible student is not the same in every case because some of the eligible students are old system students and some are new system students,

the contribution in respect of an eligible student is calculated under sub-paragraph (9).

  • (9) Where sub-paragraph (8) applies, the contribution in respect of an eligible student is an amount equal to the contribution calculated under paragraph 8 or 9 divided by the number of eligible students referred to in paragraph (a) of sub-paragraph (8) in relation to whom a contribution is payable and where the contribution is not extinguished by applying it in respect of the eligible student’s statutory award, the remainder of the contribution is applied in the same way as in sub-paragraph (5) to the relevant statutory awards of the other old system students where the eligible student is an old system student and to the relevant statutory awards of the other new system students where the eligible student is a new system student.
  • (10) Where a contribution taking into account the residual income of the eligible student’s parent is payable in respect of more than one child of that parent or that parent’s partner, if any, and the residual income of any such eligible student is greater than nil, the contribution in relation to each eligible student is calculated in accordance with the following sub-paragraphs—
  • (a) the contribution in respect of the eligible student is calculated without reference to paragraph 4 but otherwise in accordance with this Schedule and is apportioned between each eligible student in accordance with this paragraph;
  • (b) there is then applied in addition in respect of the eligible student a further contribution of £1 for every complete £12.50 by which the sum calculated in respect of the student under paragraph (c) exceeds £22,560 where the student is an old system student or, £1 for every complete £9.50 by which the sum calculated in respect of the student under paragraph (c) exceeds £37,900 where the student is a new system student;
  • (c) the sum referred to in paragraph (b) is the aggregate of any amounts calculated under paragraphs 4, 5 and 7 (where appropriate) with the deduction of the amount (if any) by which the aggregate of the amounts calculated under paragraphs 5 and 7 exceeds £22,560 where the student is an old system student or exceeds £37,900 where the student is a new system student.
  • (11) Subject to sub-paragraph (12), there is added to a parent student’s residual income for the purpose of calculating the contribution to his statutory award any sum remaining—
  • (a) where the parent student is the parent of only one eligible student and the contribution payable in respect of that eligible student is greater than the statutory award in respect of that eligible student, the difference between that contribution and that statutory award; or
  • (b) where a parent student is the parent of more than one eligible student, any sum remaining after the apportionment of the contribution to his children under this paragraph.
  • (12) Where a parent student has a partner within paragraph 1(j), the sums added to his residual income under sub-paragraph (11) are calculated as though the contribution in respect of his children had been assessed taking into account the income of the parent’s partner under paragraph 7, whether or not the contribution was actually calculated on that basis.
  • (13) In this paragraph, “relevant household” means all those eligible students in respect of whom a contribution is calculated with reference to the same income under both paragraphs 5 and 7.

Split contributions – independent eligible students

11
  • (1) Where a contribution is payable under paragraph 8 or 9 in relation to an independent eligible student with a partner, the contribution is payable in accordance with the following sub-paragraphs—
  • (a) for any year in which a statutory award other than an award referred to in paragraph (b) is held by the independent eligible student’s partner, the contribution payable in respect of the independent eligible student is such proportion of any contribution calculated under paragraph 8 or 9 as the Department after consultation with any other authority involved considers just;
  • (b) subject to the following sub-paragraphs, for any year in which an award payable under these Regulations, the Education (Student Awards) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2003), the 1986 Order or section 63 of the Health Services and Public Health Act 1968 (and no other statutory award) is held by more than one child of the eligible student’s parents, the contribution payable in respect of the eligible student shall be an amount equal to the contribution calculated under paragraph 8 divided by the number of children of his parents who hold a relevant statutory award;
  • (c) if, as a result of the apportionment under paragraph (b) the contribution calculated would not be extinguished by applying it in respect of the independent eligible student’s statutory award, the remainder of the contribution is instead applied to the relevant statutory award of his partner if they are both old system students or if they are both new system students.
  • (2) Subject to sub-paragraph (3), there is added to a parent student’s residual income for the purpose of calculating the contribution to his statutory award any sum remaining—
  • (a) where the parent student is the parent of only one eligible student and the contribution payable in respect of that eligible student is greater than the statutory award in respect of that eligible student, the difference between that contribution and that statutory award; or
  • (b) where a parent student is the parent of more than one eligible student, any sum remaining after the apportionment of the contribution to his children under this Schedule.
  • (3) Where a parent student has a partner who is also an eligible student and whose income is taken into account in assessing the contribution in relation to the children in sub-paragraph (2), half of the sum calculated under sub-paragraph (2) is added to the parent student’s residual income.

Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations provide for support for students taking designated higher education courses in respect of an academic year beginning on or after 1st September 2006.

These Regulations revoke the Education (Student Support) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2005, the Education (Student Support) (2005 Regulations) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2005 and the Education (Student Support) (2005 Regulations) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2006. Regulation 3 sets out saving and transitional provisions.

These Regulations are based on the Education (Student Support) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2005 (as amended) (the “2005 Regulations”) to which they make a number of amendments some of which are minor and drafting amendments. Changes of substance other than increases in rates of grants and loans are described below.

Two main categories of students are recognised under these Regulations, “new system students” and “old system students” (regulation 2). A new system student is a student starting a full-time designated course on or after 1st September 2006, subject to certain exceptions. An old system student is a student who is continuing on a course that he started before 1st September 2006, subject to certain exceptions, and a student starting a higher education course at an institution in the Republic of Ireland. The support available under these Regulations depends on whether a student is categorised as a new system student or an old system student.

Part 4 of these Regulations provides for fee support for eligible students taking designated full-time courses. New system students are eligible for a fee loan (regulation 11 and Chapter 2 of Part 4) and old system students are eligible for a grant for fees and fee contribution loan (regulation 12 and Chapters 3 and 4 of Part 4). Part 4 sets out the circumstances in which a new system student and an old system student qualify for fee support including new provisions as to the effect of having taken a previous higher education course on current entitlement.

Part 5 of these Regulations provides for grants for living and other costs for eligible students taking designated full-time courses. A maintenance grant is available in accordance with regulation 49 to new system students. A special support grant is available in accordance with regulation 51 to new system students who are or may be eligible for certain types of social security benefits. A new system student who qualifies for a special support grant does not qualify for a maintenance grant.

Part 6 of these Regulations provides for loans for living costs for eligible students taking designated full-time courses. The age limit for qualifying for a loan for living costs is raised to 60. Part 6 and regulation 77 in Part 8 set out the circumstances in which the amount of loan for living costs available to a new system student is reduced because of the amount of maintenance grant that is payable.

Part 9 of these Regulations deals with payment of support in connection with a full-time designated course and recovery of overpayments. Under regulation 81, the Department may request information from an applicant that is needed to assist with the recovery of a loan and may withhold payment of the loan until that information is supplied. Under regulation 82, an institution is required to send the Department an attendance confirmation in respect of an eligible student. The Department may not make a payment of a grant for living and other costs or a loan for living costs without having received the confirmation, subject to certain exceptions. Regulation 83 makes new provision for the recovery of overpayments of grants for living and other costs when the eligible student withdraws from the course after support has been paid.

These Regulations make disabled students who are undertaking a designated full-time course but who are unable to attend for a reason relating to their disability eligible for fee support, the loan for living costs, the grant for dependants and the higher education bursary or the maintenance grant or special support grant.

Part 10 of these Regulations provides for support for designated part-time courses. Under a new regulation (regulation 91), the Department may make fee support available to eligible part-time students who attend a designated part-time course in England, Wales or Scotland. Regulation 93 introduces a new procedure for applying for support for part-time courses which requires the institution providing the course to provide a declaration to accompany a student’s application for support which provides details about the course and confirms that the student has undertaken at least two weeks of the course or has enrolled to undertake the course. Regulation 98 provides that, subject to certain exceptions, the Department must not pay support for part-time courses (other than fee support) until it has received the declaration. Regulation 100 makes new provision for the recovery of overpayments of grants (other than fee grants) when the student withdraws from the course after support has been paid.

Part 11 of these Regulations provides for a grant to help disabled postgraduate students with the additional expenditure that they incur as a result of their disability. Regulation 109 makes new provision for the recovery of overpayments of the grant when the student withdraws from the course after support has been paid.

These regulations implement the provisions of Directive 2004/38/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29th April 2004 (OJ L158, 30.04.2004, p77-123) on the rights of citizens of the Union and their family members to move and reside freely in the territory of the member states so far as the Directive relates to student support. Certain categories of person who were not formerly eligible for student support will be eligible as a result of the Directive. To qualify for support under these Regulations, a student must fall within one of the categories set out in Part 2 of Schedule 1. Schedule 1 has been amended to include the categories of person who are eligible for student support as a result of the Directive. Consequential changes have been made in regulations 13, 14, 37, 65, 85 and 101. A copy of the Transposition Note in relation to the implementation of the Directive so far as it relates to student support is available from the Department for Education and Skills, Sanctuary Buildings, Great Smith Street, London, SW1P 3BT or on the website of the Office of Public Sector Information at www.opsi.gov.uk.

Schedule 4 sets out the method for calculating the household income of a student taking a designated full-time course. A contribution from the student is calculated on the basis of the household income. The contribution is applied to reduce some types of support available to the student. A new provision has been added which deals with the calculation of a new system student’s contribution (paragraph 9). If an eligible student is deemed to be independent, the income of his parents is not taken into account in calculating his household income. A new ground on which an eligible student is deemed to be independent is added in paragraph 2 of Schedule 4. An eligible student is now independent if he has the care of a child on the first day of the academic year. Schedule 4 also sets out how the contribution from a student is calculated if more than one person from his household is applying for support. Paragraph 10 of Schedule 4 has been amended to cover the calculation of the contribution where one student in the household is an old system student and one is a new system student.

Regulation 61 and Schedule 5 introduce a new form of support namely a loan in respect of the college fees payable by a qualifying student to a college or permanent hall of the University of Oxford or to a college of the University of Cambridge in connection with his attendance on a qualifying course.
