(b)  If you have been allocated EFTS for learners who are persons required to be treated as if they are not international students, as set out in the Domestic Students (Tertiary Education) Notice 2016, you must not exceed the number of EFTS approved.

You must only use SAR (ACE) Fund funding for an eligible learner enrolled in a programme of study or training that is less than 40 credits on the NZQF.

(a)  You must not charge a fee to a learner in 2015 who is participating in an eligible SAR programme of study or training for which you receive SAR (ACE) Fund Funding.

For the purposes of this Condition, the term “fee” includes the following items: tuition fees, compulsory course costs, examination fees, costs of materials, costs of field trips, costs associated with the compulsory purchase of equipment or books through a TEO, and other charges associated with a course. The term “fee” does not include compulsory student services fees or fees for student identification cards.

(b)  In relation to equipment, infrastructure, and hardware:

(i)    you must pay for the necessary equipment, infrastructure, and hardware required to deliver a particular programme, and

(ii)   when providing essential equipment (including computers, diving hardware, and chainsaws), you must not require a student to meet the costs through the "course-related costs" component of the Student Loan Scheme as a condition of the student's enrolment.

For the purposes of this Condition, "equipment, infrastructure, and hardware":

(i)    means items that can be used by successive intakes of students, and

(c)   ensure that the subcontracted party does not further subcontract any functions, and

(d)  remain accountable to us for the use of the SAR (ACE) Fund funding.

If you receive SAR (ACE) Fund funding that is greater than it should have been, or that you were not entitled to receive, you must treat the amount of the over-funding as a debt due to the Crown that:

(a)  is repayable on demand, and

(b)  may be set-off against all or any funding, or any sum of money payable by us to you.

For the purposes of this Condition, we will consider that you have received funding that was greater than it should have been if you delivered less SAR provision (at a course level) than you received funding for. In that situation, we will recover the difference between your actual delivery and 100% of the SAR (ACE) Fund funding you received.

If we suspend or revoke some or all of your SAR (ACE) Fund funding under section 159YG of the Education Act before some or all of that funding has been used or contractually committed towards the purposes for which the funding was provided, you must treat the unexpended or uncommitted portion of the funding as debt due to the Crown that is:

(a)  repayable on demand by us, and

(b)  may be set-off against all or any funding, or any sum payable by us to you.
