(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Student Fees (Qualifying Courses and Persons) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2007 (S.R. 2007, No. 328, “the principal Regulations”) to enable residence in the overseas territories to be treated as qualifying residence in certain cases.
These Regulations also amend the principal Regulations to make clear that students who move from the Islands to the United Kingdom for the purposes of undertaking their course will be treated as ordinarily resident in the Islands.
A full Regulatory Impact Assessment has not been produced for these Regulations as they have no impact on the costs of business.
