23  Date by which and circumstances in which a published census date or published EFTSL value may be varied
 (1) For the purposes of paragraph 169-25(4)(a) of the Act, a higher education provider may only vary a published census date or published EFTSL value if the variation occurs prior to the published census date for the unit or accelerator program course, the higher education provider has written approval of the Minister in accordance with paragraph 169-25(4)(b), and:
 (a) the variation does not disadvantage a student enrolled, or a person seeking to enrol in the unit or course; and
 (b) the variation is necessary to correct the published census date or EFTSL value of the unit or course due to administrative error or circumstances that did not apply at the time the census date or EFTSL value was determined.
 (2) Without limiting the generality of paragraph (1)(a), a student will be disadvantaged by a variation that:
 (a) reduces the EFTSL value for a unit of study or accelerator program course; or
 (b) brings the census date for a unit of study or accelerator program course to an earlier date.
