Guidance to higher education establishments was originally issued in June 2008. Updates were issued in September and November 2008. A final version of the guidance was published in February 2009 and is available on the UKBA website at https://www.points.homeoffice.gov.uk/gui-sponsorisf/SponsorHome.faces.
