Office for Students bans so-called ‘conditional unconditional offers’ in response to Covid-19 disruption
Universities could be fined more than £500,000 for making ‘conditional unconditional offers’—those which become unconditional when a student makes a university their first choice—under new rules by the regulator Office for Students.
The rules, which came into force on 3 July, aim to stop unfair competition for students between universities during the coronavirus pandemic.
