What is the National Code 2007?
The National Code 2007 is a part of the legal framework governing how education is to be provided to international students. This new Code aims to ensure that international students coming to Australia are provided with a very high standard of education.
National Code 2007 requires the University to be clear and transparent in:
- the marketing and offering of our courses
- our policies and procedures relating to international students
- the delivering of support services to students
- the facilities we provide
National Code 2007 also requires the University to ensure that students are meeting their obligations under their student visa. There are new regulations governing:
- students completing their course within the expected duration
- monitoring course progress
- course credit or advanced standing
- the deferral, suspension or cancellation (any type of termination) of a student’s enrolment
