42 day rule and transfers

Created

Hi,

A member of staff has asked if the 42 day rule starts again if a student transfers from one FT programme to another.  I said I did not think so, but thought I would check.  Googled it a bit, but so many documents I cannot find this specifically.

All advice gratefully received.  Thank you

Does this answer the question (assuming it's 16-18 funded)?

To determine a study programme’s length, we use the earliest start date and latest planned end date of all aims within the programme, or the first and last dates of the funding year if the aims are planned over multiple years. Similarly, we use the earliest start date and latest actual or planned end date to determine whether the student has met the qualifying period.

Thank you for that Ruth.  I read that as the start date for the qualification transferred from, would be the start date used to calculate the 42 days, which is what I thought.  It would be awfully messy if it started again every time someone moved!

Thank you for your help.
