The Education (Student Support) (College of Europe) Regulations 2010

Period of eligibility

8.—(1) Subject to the following paragraphs and regulation 6, a student’s status as an eligible student in connection with a designated course will terminate at the end of the academic year in which the College would ordinarily expect the student to complete the course (“period of eligibility”).

(2) The period of eligibility terminates when the student withdraws from the designated course or abandons or is expelled from the designated course.

(3) The Secretary of State may terminate a period of eligibility where the conduct of the student means that the student is unfitted to receive support.

(4) Where the student’s period of eligibility will terminate before the end of the academic year in which the student will actually complete the course, the Secretary of State may, at any time, extend or renew the period of eligibility for such period as the Secretary of State determines.

(5) If the Secretary of State is satisfied that the student has failed to comply with any requirement to provide information under these Regulations or has provided information which is inaccurate in a material particular, the Secretary of State may do one or more of the following—

(a) terminate the student’s period of eligibility;

(b) determine that the student no longer qualifies for any particular type of support or particular amount of support;

(c) treat any support already paid to the student as an overpayment which may be recovered in accordance with regulation 31.
