Commentary on Sections Part 2: Registration and Regulation of Tertiary Education Providers Fee limit statements Section 46: Requirements of a fee limit statement
143.This section sets out what a fee limit statement is and what it must include. When a registered provider is subject to a fee limit condition under section 32, the provider’s fee limit statement must specify the fee limit, or provide for the determination of the fee limit, in relation to each qualifying course. This fee limit must not exceed the “maximum amount”.
144.The “maximum amount” is the amount specified by the Welsh Ministers that a fee limit for a qualifying course may not exceed in any academic year.
145.Fee limits for different courses may vary and may also vary from year to year. Where there is a process or formula for determining a fee limit, this must be specified in the fee limit statement.
146.A fee limit statement has effect from the date which is specified in the fee limit statement.
