126 Varying tuition fees

(1) An approved course provider may vary the tuition fees for an approved course, or a part of an approved course, only if: (a) the Secretary has given the provider written approval of the proposed variation; or (b) the variation: (i) occurs before the published census day for the course, or the part of the course; and (ii) does not disadvantage a student enrolled in, or seeking to enrol in the course, or the part of the course; and (iii) is necessary to correct an administrative error or to deal with a change in circumstances. (2) A student enrolled in, or seeking to enrol in a course, or a part of a course, is taken for the purposes of subparagraph (1)(b)(ii) to be disadvantaged by a variation that increases the tuition fees for the course, or the part of the course. This does not limit that subparagraph. (3) Subsection (1) does not apply to a course offered under an arrangement that: (a) was entered into between the provider and an employer or industry body; and (b) limits or restricts enrolments in some or all of the places in the course.
