Transfer of awards
14
1
An award shall be transferred by the authority at the request of a student so as to be held in respect of attendance at a course other than that in respect of which it is held in any case where —
a
subject to paragraph (2), on the recommendation of the academic authority the student commences to attend another course (“the new course”) at the institution;
b
subject to paragraph (2), with the written consent of the academic authorities of both institutions concerned, given on educational grounds, the student commences to attend a course (“the new course”) at another institution;
c
subject to paragraph (4), after commencing a course for the Certificate in Education, the student is, on or before the completion of that course, admitted to a course for the degree of Bachelor of Education;
d
subject to paragraph (4), after commencing a course for the degree (other than an honours degree) of Bachelor of Education, the student is, on or before the completion of that course, admitted to a course for the honours degree of Bachelor of Education, or
e
after commencing a course for a first degree (other than an honours degree) the student is, before the completion of that course, admitted to a course for an honours degree in the same subject or subjects at the institution.
2
An award shall not be transferred in pursuance of paragraph (1)(a) or (b) unless either —
a
the requisite recommendation or consent is given before the expiry of four months after the end of the first year of the course in respect of which the award was originally bestowed; or
b
the authority are satisfied, after consulting the academic authority or authorities concerned, that the fact that the requisite recommendation or consent is given after the expiry of the period specified in paragraph (a) is due only to the need to apply through a clearing admissions system; or
c
the authority, after consulting the academic authority or authorities concerned, are satisfied that the period which the student in question will ordinarily require for the completion of the new course will expire not later than the period which he would now so require for the completion of the course in respect of which the award is held, ignoring —
i
in each case, periods of experience which are part of a sandwich course, and
ii
in the case of the course in respect of which the award is held, any period during which the student would now be required by the academic authority concerned to repeat part of the course, if the authority would not make any payment for maintenance in respect of that period under regulation 25(1).
3
An authority may, after consulting the academic authority concerned, refuse the transfer of an award in pursuance of paragraph (1)(a) or (b) if they are satisfied that when the student applied for it he did not intend to complete the course to which his application related.
4
An award shall not be transferred in pursuance of paragraph (1)(c) or (d) so as to be held in respect of his attendance at a course for the degree of Bachelor of Education if the period which the student in question would ordinarily require for the completion of that course, when aggregated with the period for which the student has already pursued a course in respect of which the award was held, exceeds —
a
five years where the award would be held in respect of a course for the honours degree of Bachelor of Education; or
b
four years where the award would be held in respect of a course for that degree not being an honours degree;
so, however, that where the student has pursued a part-time course, for the purposes hereof account shall only be taken of that proportion of the period for which he pursued that course which the period ordinarily required to complete the full-time course equivalent to the part-time course bears to the period so required to complete the part-time course.
5
For the purposes of the duty of an authority to transfer an award in pursuance of paragraph (1)(c) or (d) it shall be immaterial whether or not the two courses are provided by the same institution.
Termination of awards
15

Provided that —
a
if the academic authority refuse to allow the student to complete the course, the authority shall terminate the award forthwith;
b
if the student does not complete the course within the period ordinarily required, the authority —
i
may extend the award until the student has completed the course, and
ii
shall extend it for a period equivalent to any period in respect of which they have made any payment under regulation 25(1).
2
The authority may, after consultation with the academic authority, terminate the award if they are satisfied that the student has either —

abandoned the course in respect of which it is held and the award does not fall to be transferred in pursuance of regulation 14; or
b
shown himself by his conduct to be unfitted to hold the award.
Supplementary provisions
16
The authority may require the student to provide from time to time such information as they consider necessary for the exercise of their functions under this Part, and if in the case of any student the authority are satisfied that he has wilfully failed to comply with any such requirement or has provided information which he knows to be false in a material particular or has recklessly provided information which is false in a material particular, they may terminate the award or withhold any payments due under it as they see fit.
