How has HEFCE determined its proposed exemptions?
We have proposed exemptions when they: • are clearly in the public interest • minimise conflicts with other HEFCE policies • ensure that the ELQ policy is consistent with the Student Fees Regulations and Student Support Regulations. We have, when possible, exempted from the ELQ policy courses that are treated as special cases in the Student Fees Regulations and Student Support Regulations. This avoids an undesirable situation in which certain courses experience a reduction in funding which cannot be recovered through charging increased fees.
