or
 (b) if the minimum amount of time needed to complete the course as a full‑time student is more than 1 year and:
 (i) the student is enrolled, or intends to enrol, in a year‑long subject; or
 (ii) the student's further progress in the course depends on passing a whole year's work in the course;
  the minimum amount of time plus 1 year; or
 (c) in any other case—the minimum amount of time needed to complete the course as a full‑time student plus half an academic year.

Allowable study time—25% concessional study‑load students
 (4) The allowable study time for a course undertaken by a 25% concessional study‑load student is twice the minimum period in which it is possible to complete the course as a full‑time student but the Secretary may approve, in particular cases, an allowable study time of up to four times the minimum period in which it is possible to complete the course as a full‑time student.

Time spent by person studying part‑time
 (5) If a student has studied part‑time for a course over a certain period, the time spent by the student on that course is taken to be the proportion of that period calculated by using the formula:
where:
normal full‑time study means the normal amount of full‑time study for the course.
study undertaken means the amount of study undertaken part‑time by the student for the course.

Current full‑time students who have previously undertaken courses as concessional study‑load students
 (6) If:
 (a) a person is undertaking a course as a full‑time student; and
 (b) the person has previously undertaken:
 (i) part of the course; or
 (ii) one or more than one other course at the same level as that course;
  as a concessional study‑load student; and
 (c) the time spent by the person undertaking the part of the course referred to in subparagraph (b)(i), or the course or courses referred to in subparagraph (b)(ii), (the previous study) is not to be disregarded under subsection (7);
the time spent by the person undertaking the previous study is taken to be equal to the minimum amount of time that a full‑time student would have taken to complete the previous study.

Current 25% concessional study‑load students who have previously undertaken courses on a different basis
 (6A) If:
 (a) a person is undertaking a course as a 25% concessional study‑load student; and
 (b) the person has previously undertaken:
 (i) part of that course; or
 (ii) one or more than one other course at the same level as that course;
  in any of the following ways:
 (iii) as a full‑time student;
 (iv) as a 66% concessional study‑load student;
 (v) on a part‑time basis; and
 (c) the time spent by the person
