Higher Education Transparency Data

1. This regulatory advice sets out guidance for higher education providers in England that are registered with the Office for Students (OfS). Section 9 of the Higher Education and Research Act 2017 (HERA) requires the OfS to ensure that the ongoing conditions of registration for certain providers includes a transparency condition.

2. This mandatory condition will apply to all registered higher education providers in either the Approved or Approved (fee cap) part of the register, once regulations are made by the Secretary of State pursuant to section 9 of HERA. The regulations have been approved by both Houses of Parliament in accordance with section 119 of HERA and we expect them to be made in December 2018. We are issuing this guidance now to give providers more time to take preparatory steps in relation to the transparency requirements.
