Rule ENR079: SAC learner withdrawal - eligibility for funding

Type:

Rule or condition

The minimum time period for a learner who withdraws from any course to be eligible to support Student Achievement Component (SAC) funding is 10% of the course completed or one month completed, whichever is the lesser.

If a learner withdraws, or is withdrawn, and receives any fee refund (where fees apply), the tertiary education organisation (TEO) may only claim the same proportion of the SAC funding as the proportion of the fee it retains.

If a learner has paid or committed to pay tuition fees and compulsory course costs (where fees apply), and formally or informally withdraws, or is expelled, after the defined withdrawal period, the learner remains a valid enrolment for funding purposes and the TEO may claim SAC funding in relation to that enrolment (subject to any fee refund).
