students are given authority to use an information system for generating, sending, receiving, storing or otherwise processing the electronic communication; and
 (c) the information system stores the notice, document or information sent to the student so that it is readily accessible by the student and can be made available for subsequent reference and printing by the student.

30 Requirements relating to methods to be used by students to identify themselves and indicate their approval of documents
 (1) For the purposes of subsection 174-5(2) of the Act, where a student is enabled to provide an electronic communication to a higher education provider in connection with giving a notice or other document (the information) under the Act, that is required to be signed and given to the provider, the higher education provider must have in place a method the student can use to uniquely identify himself or herself in the communication and to indicate his or her approval of the information in it.
              Note: Where a student is required by the Act to provide a signature and the student acts in accordance with a method allowed for in subsection 30(1), the student is taken to meet that requirement.
 (2) A method that a student can use to uniquely identify himself or herself may involve the student quoting a unique, personal identifier, issued to the student by the provider or by the Student Identifiers Registrar.
 (3) In relation to issuing an identifier to a student, a higher education provider must:
 (a) first verify the identity of the person to whom the identifier is to be issued; and
 (b) take all reasonable precautions to ensure that there is no unauthorised access to, or use of, the identifier; and
 (c) ensure that the student is advised that, apart from the higher education provider's obligations under paragraphs (a) and (b), the student is personally responsible for protecting the identifier.
