  Rule ENR019: Learner applications for enrolment - publishing requirement

  When publishing admission information, the tertiary education organisation (TEO) must ensure it is accessible, appropriate, stable and timely as follows:

  • Before learners enrol, TEOs must publish admission information in a calendar, prospectus, application form or other publications reasonably available to learners
  • Admission information must include all the following:
  • Admission requirements
  • Criteria and business processes for Recognised Prior Learning and/or cross-credit applications
  • Enrolment processes
  • Minimum attendance and code of conduct requirements
  • Withdrawal policy
  • Support services
  • Fees and other course costs
  • Criteria and process for selecting learners for restricted entry courses
  • Once qualification admission requirements have been published or advertised, TEOs must not change them during the period for which they apply. TEOs must, where possible, notify learners of admission decisions before the teaching period begins.
