23      Transfer between programs

(1)    This section applies if:

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

(b)    the person wishes to transfer from that program to a program for another research award (the new program).

(2)    The person may apply, in writing, to the Delegated Authority for the new program for approval to transfer from the existing program to the new program.
[Note: If a form is approved under the Legislation Statute for this provision, the form must be used.]

(3)    Within 20 working days after the day the application is made to the Delegated Authority, the Delegated Authority must:

(a)    decide the application; and

(b)    tell the person in writing:

(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.

[Note: A decision not to approve the transfer, or to impose conditions on the transfer, is reviewable under Division 7.1 (Reviews of reviewable decisions).]

(4)    If the Delegated Authority approves the transfer, the person is taken to have withdrawn from the existing program and to have been admitted to the new program.

(5)    If the Delegated Authority decides not to approve the transfer or to impose conditions on the transfer, the Delegated Authority must also give the student a statement of reasons for the decision.

(6)    Any condition imposed by the Delegated Authority on the transfer is taken to be a condition imposed on the person's admission to the new program.
