Registration with the Office for Students

English providers are currently registering with the new regulator for English HE, the Office for Students (OfS). Among other things, this ensures courses are designated for student support.

Posted Wed 6 June 2018

As this cycle is a period of transition, you may want to include details in the ‘additional fee information’ section on our search tool – to explain that, until you’re registered, you cannot confirm access to student support. Read the OfS’ guidance for providers.

We’re communicating the following to advisers and students:

  • For most English providers, this will be resolved in September.
  • It shouldn’t affect loan applications, as most applicants don’t apply for these until after the 15 January deadline.
  • You can check to see if your university or college has been registered yet.
  • Contact the university or college for more details on their registration process.
