Approval of courses provided by universities and higher education institutions
10 Approval of courses provided by universities and higher education institutions
On the application of an education institution that is:
an Australian or overseas university, or
an Australian or overseas higher education institution,
the Secretary may approve the institution to provide specified courses of study to overseas students.
An approval may be granted in respect of a course of study only if the Secretary is satisfied that the education institution complies with the relevant requirements of the National Code.
In the case of an Australian university, the Secretary is to rely on a statement by the governing body of the university as to the university’s compliance with the relevant requirements of the National Code unless the Secretary has reason to believe that those requirements have not been complied with.
An approval may be granted unconditionally or subject to such conditions as the Secretary determines.
An approval under this Division must be reviewed by the Secretary at intervals of not more than 5 years.
