Universities and colleges: England

19.—(1) This chapter applies to governing bodies of a college of a university and a university—

(a) described in Part 4 of Schedule 1 to the 2000 Act; and

(b) where the university is wholly or mainly situated in England.

(2) For the purposes of this chapter, whether a college is a college of a university is determined on the qualification day of the qualification year, whatever applied earlier in that year.

Qualifying electricity

20.—(1) The governing bodies of colleges of a university and the university (“the university and colleges”) are a group for the purposes of paragraph (2) whether or not those bodies have a legal identity separate from each other.

(2) Articles 21 and 22 apply where the university and colleges meet the qualification criteria.

(3) Where the university and colleges do not meet the qualification criteria, none of them are required to apply for registration as a participant in respect of a phase.

Universities and colleges: groups

21.—(1) Where this article applies—

(a) the governing body of a college of the university which has a legal identity separate from the governing body of the university is “an independent college”;

(b) for the purposes of article 22—

(i) the university and colleges are a group but that group does not include an independent college unless the university and colleges and the independent college otherwise agree;

(ii) an independent college which is not part of the group under paragraph (1)(b)(i) may agree with another such independent college to form a group (“an independent college group”).

(2) Any agreement under paragraph (1)(b) must be made before the group makes an application for registration.
