The Office for Students (OfS) is consulting on a new ongoing condition of registration (C6) that would require all registered universities and colleges to treat students fairly in relation to their higher education provision and supporting services. The proposed condition would mandate institutions to publish student protection documents including contracts, course change policies, complaints procedures, and refund/compensation information on their websites. The consultation closes on 9 July 2026, with final decisions expected in autumn 2026.
