Funding regulations for post-16 provision 2020 to 2021

This guidance document covers the period 1 August 2020 to 31 July 2021 and is our current advice for the funding year. We know that providers are working through exceptional circumstances due to coronavirus (COVID-19). We may publish further updates to this guidance document about the impact of coronavirus (COVID-19) on our funding regulations as these become clear. We will tell you about any changes in our ESFA Update.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued hard work in these difficult times.

You might find our published information about what colleges and other providers need to do during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak useful.

• updated student eligibility advice for EU and EEA students
• updated advice for T Levels including eligible provision, planned hours and recording planned hours
• updated advice on ineligible provision
• updated advice on using electronic recruitment systems
• updated advice where wider Government restrictions impact on student enrolment and attendance which require using electronic recruitment and delivery systems
