Access documents

Any university or college that wants to charge a higher tuition fee for home/EU undergraduates, and/or postgraduates on PGCE or initial teacher training courses, must have an access and participation plan approved by the Office for Students (OfS). Access agreements did the same job as access and participation plans, but were under the previous regulatory system.

 You can find approved access and participation plans and access agreements for Staffordshire University below, or on the Access and participation plans for University of Staffordshire page of the OfS website.
