This guide provides information about and explains the process registered higher education providers will need to follow when applying to TEQSA for renewal of registration.

The policy describes TEQSA’s approach to considering extensions to the period of provider registration or course accreditation under sections 37A and 57A of the TEQSA Act.

For regulatory purposes, TEQSA sees academic leadership as a complex system of interrelated and interdependent elements that, together, support leadership of academic matters.

Academic quality assurance is a demonstration or verification that a desired level of quality of an academic activity has been attained or sustained, or is highly likely to be attained or sustained.

Admissions policies, requirements and procedures should ensure students have the academic preparation and English language proficiency to participate in their intended study.

Courses of study will evolve over time as providers make improvements as part of their quality assurance processes or respond to changing circumstances in the educational and workplace environments.

Corporate governance is the framework of structures, rules, relationships, systems and processes of an entity.

Course design can be defined structurally as the content, duration and sequencing of the elements of a course of study.

Where providers identify a need to rely on an assessment of professional equivalence for the purpose of appointing staff, TEQSA expects that they will have a policy and procedure under which professional equivalence is determined and approved.
