37      Minimum period of attendance at University campus during a year

(1)    This section applies to a student if an approval is in force for the student under section 34(2) (Place where program must be undertaken).

(2)    The student must, during each year of the program while the approval is in force, attend a campus of the University for a minimum period, in total, of:

(a)    for a full-time student—4 units (which is equivalent to full-time attendance for 4 weeks); and

(b)    for a part-time student—2 units (which is equivalent to part-time attendance for 4 weeks).

(3)    However, the Delegated Authority may, on the application of the student or on the Delegated Authority's own initiative and in writing, vary the period that the student must, under subsection (2), attend a campus of the University during a particular year, or each year, while the approval is in force, if the Delegated Authority is satisfied that the variation is justified in the particular circumstances applying to the student.

(4)    If the student applies under subsection (3) to vary the period that the student must attend a campus of the University, the Delegated Authority must:

(a)    decide the application; and

(b)    tell the student in writing whether the variation has been made.
[Note: A decision not to vary, or to vary on the Delegated Authority's own initiative, the period the student must attend a campus of the University is reviewable under Division 7.1 (Reviews of reviewable decisions).]

(5)    If the Delegated Authority decides not make the variation, the Delegated Authority must also give the student a statement of reasons for the decision.

(6)    If the Delegated Authority varies, on the Delegated Authority's own initiative, the period that the student must attend a campus of the University, the Delegated Authority must:

(a)    tell the student in writing about the variation; and

(b)    give the student a statement of reasons for the variation.

(7)    For this section, leave of absence granted to a student under section 38 (Program leave of absence) is to be disregarded in working out how long the student has attended a campus of the University.
