Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many higher education establishments (a) received and (b) did not receive their registration within the timeframe expected of the Office for Students.

As higher education establishments may choose to apply for registration onto the Office for Students’ (OfS) register at any time, there is no set deadline or timeframe for when they should receive a decision on their applications. To date, 356 higher education establishments have successfully registered with the OfS since the OfS started accepting applications.
