19  Circumstances that make it impracticable for the person to complete the requirements
 (1) A higher education provider will be satisfied that a person's circumstances make it impracticable for the person to complete the requirements for the unit of study during the period which the person undertook, or was to undertake, the unit if circumstances such as the following occur:
 (a) medical circumstances, such as where person's medical condition has changed to such an extent that they are unable to continue studying; or
 (b) family or personal circumstances, such as death or severe medical problems within a family, or unforeseen family financial difficulties, so that it is unreasonable to expect a person to continue their studies; or
 (c) employment related circumstances, such as where a person's employment status or arrangements have changed so that the person is unable to continue their studies, and this change is beyond the person's control; or
 (d) course related circumstances, such as where the provider has changed the unit of study it had offered and the person is disadvantaged by either not being able to complete the unit, or not being given credit towards other units of study or courses of study.
 (2) A person is unable to complete the requirements for a unit of study if the person is unable to:
 (a) undertake the necessary private study required, or attend sufficient lectures or tutorials or meet other compulsory attendance requirements in order to meet their compulsory course requirements; or
 (b) complete the required assessable work; or
 (c) sit the required examinations; or
 (d) complete any other course requirements because of their inability to meet (a), (b) and (c) above.
