Change of circumstances

Repeat study


If a student moves to another Learning Centre or significantly changes their programme of study during the academic year, we'll need to confirm if:

  • the student is repeating their studies
  • there is a reason outside of their control for repeating

In any case, to be eligible for EMA, the student must:

  • be studying full time (or at least 15 guided hours per week at a further education college)
  • have signed an EMA Learning Agreement
  • be attending a valid further education course
