Part 1: The Office for Students Enforcement of ongoing registration conditions Section 18: De-registration by the OfS
This section requires the OfS to remove a provider from the register if it becomes aware that the provider is not (or no longer intends to become) an English higher education provider.
	The OfS may also remove a provider from the register if the provider appears to have breached an ongoing registration condition and the OfS has previously imposed a suspension or a monetary penalty, or if the OfS doesn’t consider a monetary penalty or suspension would be sufficient to deal with the breach.
	Subsections (5) and (6) enable the OfS to put transitional arrangements in place. For example, arrangements could be made so that the provider continues to be treated as registered in order to enable existing students at the institution to continue to access student support.
	For voluntary de-registrations see section 22.
	This section forms part of the law of England and Wales.
