The context
Changes took effect on 1 April 2026 concerning education agent commissions for onshore student transfers. Providers should review agent arrangements, PRISMS reporting and record keeping against the detailed rules.
A practical next step
Review the detailed rules and exceptions against your agent arrangements, commission processes and student transfer workflows. Assign responsibilities for PRISMS data quality, staff guidance and record keeping. Test whether the operational controls match the contracts.
Make the work accountable
Record the evidence you have, the gaps that remain, the owner of each action and the date for review. Escalate unresolved risks through your institution’s governance processes.
