The definition of an approved institution is set out in Section 7 of the Student Support Act 2011 and Regulation 3 of the Student Support Regulations 2019.

I have been advised that the institution in question is not an approved institution for student grant purposes. There are currently no plans to regulate to approve this institution for student grant purposes.
