Part 1: The Office for Students Powers to grant degrees etc Section 48: Variation or revocation of authorisation: procedure
Under section 48 the OfS must notify a provider of its intention to vary or revoke degree awarding powers, and have regard to any representations the provider makes during the specified period, before coming to a decision on whether to vary or revoke. The OfS must notify the provider of its decision. The order implementing the decision cannot be made, and the variation or revocation cannot take effect, when an appeal could be brought or is pending - unless the provider notifies the OfS that it does not intend to appeal.
