Renewal of course accreditation in teach out mode

Report on renewal of accreditation of one higher education course of study in teach out mode offered by Morling College Ltd

TEQSA has determined, under Section 56 of the TEQSA Act, to renew accreditation of the following higher education course of study in teach out mode offered by Morling College Ltd for a period of 23 months until 31 December 2014:

• Bachelor of Education (Conversion)

Background to Decision

Morling College Ltd submitted an application for renewal of accreditation of one course of study in teach out mode under Part 4 of the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency Act 2011 ('the TEQSA Act'). The purpose of this decision is to facilitate the completion of studies by students enrolled in the courses or the transition of students into other equivalent courses offered by the provider or other higher education providers. This also means that no further enrolments are permitted into this course. Subsection 45(4) of the TEQSA Act requires a registered higher education provider who is not authorised to self-accredit the course of study to apply to TEQSA for accreditation. Subsection 56(4) enables TEQSA to renew accreditation of a course of study for a period not exceeding seven years.

Main Reasons for the Decision

TEQSA has determined that the one higher education course of study submitted by Morling College Ltd for accreditation complies with the Provider Course Accreditation Standards. The course accreditation includes online delivery by the National Institute of Christian Education which is a third party teaching agent of Morling College Ltd.
