Student sponsor compliance
BCA core requirements and RAG rating, kept separate
SponsorLedger prevents a reassuring RAG colour from masking failure of a mandatory Basic Compliance Assessment threshold.
Core requirements
PASSCore requirements met
Assessment date: 10 Oct 2026 · 2026 RAG framework
RAG rating
Amber
First assessment under the new framework: Yes
Metric assessment
Each metric shows its core threshold and its separate RAG treatment.
01Visa refusal rate
Amber · 4%Core requirement: refusal rate must remain below 5%. This synthetic example is inside the amber RAG range but still passes the core requirement.
02Enrolment rate
Green · 96%Core requirement: at least 95%. The example meets the threshold and falls within the green RAG range.
03Course completion rate
Transitional · 88%2026 transition handled explicitly
The completion percentage is still checked against the applicable core requirement, while the first assessment under the new framework can keep completion outside the first RAG rating. The database also holds a future effective version for the 2027 threshold change.
Why two results?
Core failure and RAG rating answer different questions.
Core requirementsMandatory threshold pass/fail assessment.
RAG ratingRisk band under the current framework.
Rule versionThe effective guidance version is stored with the calculation.
Annual cycle
The BCA application date drives the recurring deadline.
Last application10 Oct 2026
→Next annual point10 Oct 2027
The product keeps the assessment cycle and metric evidence together instead of treating BCA as an isolated annual form.
