What are the approval criteria for non-university providers?
Under the protocols, the broad approval criteria for non-university providers are: • The course design and content should satisfy the requirements set in the Australian Qualifications Framework for the award level. • The course should be comparable in requirements and learning outcomes to a course at the same level in a similar field at an Australian university. • The delivery arrangements, including institutional governance, facilities, staffing and student services, must be appropriate to higher education and enable successful delivery of the course at the level proposed. • The provider should have appropriate financial and other arrangements to permit the successful delivery of the course, and must be a fit and proper person to accept responsibility for the course.
