(a)    a person is enrolled in a program for a coursework award (the existing program); and

(b)    the person wishes to transfer from that program to a program for another coursework award (the new program); and

(c)    the existing and new programs are both undergraduate coursework programs or both graduate coursework programs.

(2)    The person may apply to the Registrar for approval to transfer from the existing program to the new program.

(i)    whether the transfer has been approved; and

(ii)    if the transfer is approved—about any conditions imposed by the Delegated Authority on the transfer.

(4)    The Delegated Authority may approve the transfer only if satisfied that the person meets the minimum qualification requirements for admission to the new program or the transfer is being made under the Academic Progress Rule.

(a)    the person is taken to have withdrawn from the existing program; and

(b)    the person is taken to have been admitted to the new program; and

(c)    the new program is taken, for section 31 (Maximum period to complete program), to have commenced on the day the existing program commenced (or is taken to have commenced under the previous application of this paragraph to the existing program or an earlier program); and
