Rule SAC050: EFTS value of qualifications - studying extra courses

Type:

Rule or condition

If additional courses become the expected norm for all learners undertaking a qualification, the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) regards this as a significant change to the qualification, requiring new approval by an external quality assurance body. The TEC would reset the Equivalent Full-Time Student (EFTS) value of that qualification to no more than one EFTS unit for each 12 month period (unless it approved an exception to this limit).
