Office for Students: registration fees (stage 2)

We’re seeking views on:

• detailed proposals for calculating the annual registration fee
• a proposed partial government subsidy of registration fees for new providers
• plans to review the fee model after 2 years of its operation, including sector views

The consultation also considers:

• an alternative registration fee model that the OfS could move to in the future, subject to the outcomes of the proposed review
• some operational aspects of the fee

In a first stage consultation, we asked for views on high-level principles and proposals to underpin and inform the registration fee model.

We also held separate consultations on a number of related subjects:

• Regulatory framework consultation
• Degree awarding powers/university title
• Designated quality body for higher education in England
• Designated data body for higher education in England
