These changes are to ensure alignment with the recently published Academic Appeals Procedures and to update definitions to encompass University partner provider arrangements. The amendments to Clause (4) update definitions to include University partner providers; Clauses (20) and (21) changes are to clarify the principles for an initial review of an Advanced Standing decision and that the Academic Appeals Procedures will apply for any appeal of a reviewed decision; and the previous appeal procedures in Part D have been removed as these are no longer required.
