Social Security Act 1991

the person:

is enrolled in a course of education at an educational institution; or

was enrolled in the course and satisfies the Secretary that he or she intends, and has (since no longer being enrolled) always intended, to re‑enrol in the course when re‑enrolments in the course are next accepted; or

was enrolled in the course and satisfies the Secretary that he or she intends, and has (since no longer being enrolled) always intended, to enrol in another course of education (at the same or a different educational institution) when enrolments in the other course are next accepted; and

the course in which the person is enrolled, or intends to enrol, is an approved course of education or study (see section 569B); and

if the course is an accelerator program course or a combined course that includes an accelerator program course—the person is entitled to STARTUP‑HELP assistance for the accelerator program course; and

the person is a full‑time student or a concessional study‑load student in respect of that course (see sections 569C and 569D); and

if the course is a combined course or a course other than an accelerator program course—the person satisfies the progress rules (see sections 569G and 569H).

Only one course of education can be considered in deciding if a person satisfies the undertaking qualifying study requirement: see section 569AA.

For combined courses, see the legislative instrument made under section 5D of the Student Assistance Act 1973.
