Summary of Changes from Previous Version

13 July 2022 – Clause 7 amended to correct typographical error – internal reference to clause (5) updated to clause (6).

9 September 2021 – System Administrator Fix – corrected the placeholder for the reference to the Director, Data, Integrity, Quality and Operations in clause 24.

20 April 2021 – Document updated to reflect the position title changes for the Director, Student Administration to Director, Data, Integrity, Quality and Operations.

The revised Revocation of Awards Rule is aligned with the revised Student Misconduct Rule, particularly in relation to powers of, and final determination by, the Board of Trustees. Other changes to this Rule aim to streamline the process so that investigations can commence without delay. The Vice-Chancellor, rather than Board Executive Committee, will convene a Revocations Committee and the constitution of the Revocations Committee is no longer required to include a Board of Trustees member. The Board of Trustees will continue to make the final determination on whether an award should be revoked.
