Part 1: The Office for Students Mandatory registration conditions Section 10: Mandatory fee limit condition for certain providers
This section requires the OfS to ensure that the ongoing registration conditions of each registered higher education provider of a description prescribed by regulations made by the Secretary of State must include a fee limit condition. Such a condition requires the governing body of a provider to secure that "regulated course fees" do not exceed a fee limit. Schedule 2 sets out how fee limits are determined.
	The "regulated course fees" to which fee limits apply, are fees which are paid by a "qualifying person" where that person undertakes a "qualifying course". Such a person excludes an international student and is a person who falls within a prescribed description (i.e. persons set out in regulations to be made by the Secretary of State). A "qualifying course" means a higher education course of a description prescribed by regulations made by the Secretary of State. That regulation making power is limited by the restrictions in subsection (7). In addition, subsection (9) provides that a "higher education course" to which a fee limit condition applies does not include any postgraduate course other than a course of initial teacher training.
	This section forms part of the law of England and Wales.
