This session will focus on students who wish to transfer to a later academic year start date of their course, known as a change in seasonal intake. It will clarify the difference between a ‘course transfer’ and a ‘change in seasonal intake’, provide examples and cover the potential impact on students payments. This session will also focus on multi-application students, with a particular focus on multi academic year. Practitioners who participate should leave this session with a more in depth understanding of both; a change in seasonal intake students and multi academic year students, which will better assist them in providing informed IAG to their student population.

Join us for this panel session featuring colleagues from University of Birmingham, University of Dundee, University of Liverpool, University of Northampton, University of Plymouth and chaired by NASMA Chair, Kellie McAlonan.

We will hear from our NASMA colleagues about how they delivered National Student Money Week activities to their students. They will share their approaches to organising and planning their campaign activity, the challenges they have manoeuvred, and the lessons they have learned.

If you are keen to know more about how different institutions approach NSMW, and get ideas for future campaigns, this is the event for you.

This LGBT+ awareness session broadly explores LGBT+ terminology and definitions, social attitudes and experiences of discrimination faced by LGBT+ people, followed by LGBT+ equality and inclusion good practice.

The session is delivered as a mixture of PowerPoint presentations, short films and group discussions together with a Q&A.

It is intended to help people gain a greater level of understanding and confidence and be less afraid of getting things wrong when interacting with or supporting LGBT+ people.

In this session, Alex MacDermott from the FCA’s Authorisations Division will explain when student money advisers’ employers need to be authorised by the FCA, what this means in practice and benefits this provides to employers and students.

The session will cover:

• How to work out if you need to be authorised
• The typical permissions a money adviser would need
• When permission wouldn’t be needed
• The benefits of authorisation for you and your students

Alex will also explain the jargon associated with regulation and bust some common myths about FCA permissions.
