Option gone into by new student? (9,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

refresher course

'option gone into by new student?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'option gone into by new student?' is the wordplay.
'option' becomes 'recourse' (recourse can mean an option or possibility).
'gone into by' is an insertion indicator.
'new student?' becomes 'fresher' (I've seen this before).
'recourse' placed around 'fresher' is 'REFRESHER COURSE'.

(Other definitions for refresher course that I've seen before include "sweet group?" , "study update" , "Training" , "further education?" , "it helps you get up to speed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
