 (1) This section applies for the purposes of enabling the Fund Manager to work out:
 (a) whether subsection 77(1A) applies to reduce the amount payable out of the Fund because:
 (i) since undertaking a course (the old course) to which a call made on the Fund relates, the student concerned has been enrolled in another course (the new course); and
 (ii) the work required of the student in undertaking the new course is reduced on account of the student's work in undertaking the old course; and
 (b) the amount of any reduction of a payment out of the Fund under subsection 77(1A).

 (2) The Fund Manager may request a registered provider whom the Fund Manager believes has enrolled the student in the new course to inform the Fund Manager within a specified reasonable period:
 (a) whether the provider has enrolled the student; and
 (b) whether the work required of the student in undertaking the new course is reduced on account of the student's work in undertaking the old course; and
 (c) if the work is reduced, the extent and monetary value of the reduction.

 (3) The registered provider must comply with the request.
