I16The specific ongoing registration conditions
1
The OfS may, at the time of an institution's registration or later, impose such conditions on its registration as the OfS may determine (“the specific ongoing registration conditions”).
2
The OfS may at any time vary or remove a specific ongoing registration condition.
3
Before—
a
varying or removing a specific ongoing registration condition on an institution's registration, or
b
imposing a new specific ongoing registration condition on its registration,
the OfS must notify the governing body of the institution of its intention to do so.
4
The notice must—
a
specify the OfS's reasons for proposing to take the step in question,
b
specify the period during which the governing body of the institution may make representations about the proposal (“the specified period”), and
c
specify the way in which those representations may be made.
5
The specified period must not be less than 28 days beginning with the date on which the notice is received.
6
The OfS must have regard to any representations made by the governing body of the institution during the specified period in deciding whether to take the step in question.
7
Having decided whether or not to take the step in question, the OfS must notify the governing body of the institution of its decision.
8
If the OfS decides to vary or remove a specific ongoing registration condition or impose a new specific ongoing registration condition, the notice must—
a
specify the condition (as varied), the condition being removed or the new condition (as the case may be), and
b
specify the date when the variation, removal or imposition takes effect.
9
For the purposes of this section, a specific ongoing registration condition is “new” if it is imposed otherwise than at the time of the institution's registration.
