Celebrating the achievements of the Step Up into Teaching (SUIT) program
News 21 MayA message from the Executive Dean Faculty of Education and Arts Professor Mary Ryan.
Staff should be aware of the university's responsibilities under the Educational Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Act 2000 and the accompanying National Code.It is important that staff are aware of the following matters.
International students must complete their course within the minimum duration as specified on their Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) issued by ACU International. CoEs are issued for the minimum duration taking into account any significant credit granted for prior studies.
Extensions of duration may only be granted in the following cases:
International students are required to enrol in a minimum of four units of study with at least one of them being a face-to-face subject in each compulsory session (i.e. Semester One and Semester Two).
A reduced study load may be approved by course coordinators; however, since international students are required to complete their studies within the minimum duration, a study plan must be in place considering future units of study offered by ACU in Summer or Winter Terms or cross institutionally.
International students may take up to one-third of their total course load by online/distance education.
Universities are exempt from the requirement to keep attendance records for international students. This exemption does not extend to international students enrolled in vocational and ELICOS programs.
International students seeking an Interruption to Study (Leave of Absence) should be advised to discuss their decision with staff of ACU International prior to withdrawing from subjects. In most cases a student will be required to depart Australia for the duration of the leave and may need to reapply for a student visa to re-enter Australia after the period of leave has expired.
Students impacted by the recent travel bans from Australia are exempted from these rules for this semester and individual student arrangements may be made to accommodate their needs.
Staff with any concerns or questions are welcome to contact ACU International for advice.
