14      Making admission decision

(1)    In this section:

admission requirements means the minimum qualification, English language, and other requirements (if any), determined under section 10 (Minimum qualification, English language, and other admission requirements) for admission to the program for a coursework award.

(2)    The Delegated Authority may offer to admit the applicant to the program for the coursework award if satisfied that the applicant meets the admission requirements.

(3)    However, if the application is for admission to a program for a degree of Bachelor Honours and the applicant meets the admission requirements, the Delegated Authority may refuse to offer to admit the applicant to the program if the Delegated Authority is not satisfied that suitable supervision will be available for the program.

(4)    Despite subsection (2), the Delegated Authority must refuse to offer to admit the applicant to the program if the admission of the applicant to the program would result in the number of students being admitted to the program in any period exceeding the maximum number of students determined under section 11 (Limits on places in programs) for the program for the period.

(5)    Also, despite subsection (2), the Delegated Authority may offer to admit the applicant to the program even though the Delegated Authority is not satisfied that the applicant meets the admission requirements if the Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Pro Vice-Chancellor approve the applicant's admission to the program.

(6)    The Delegated Authority may impose conditions on the applicant's admission if;

(a)    the applicant is offered admission to the program under subsection (5); or

(b)    the applicant's application states that the applicant intends to continue to undertake other studies at the University or another educational institution if the applicant is admitted to the program.

(7)    Despite anything else in this section, the Delegated Authority may refuse to offer to admit the applicant to the program for any reason the Delegated Authority considers appropriate.

(8)    In deciding under subsection (7) whether to refuse to offer to admit the applicant to the program, the Delegated Authority must:

(a)    have regard to the vision, values and strategies for change set by the Council for the University; and

(b)    comply with University legislation and the policies and procedures of the University.

             [Note: For the vision, values and strategies for change set by the Council for the University, see the University's Corporate Plan.]

(9)    To remove any doubt, admission to programs for coursework awards is through competitive processes for which places may be limited and in which applicants are assessed and ranked according to admission criteria set by the University, including academic achievement, English language ability and diversity targets. The University has the final discretion on admitting applicants.
