10 Honours courses
(1) Satisfactory progress in an honours course is completion of the course within the period of time comprising the standard minimum length of the course (including the honours component) and an additional period for completion of 1 uncompleted subject or unit (in either the undergraduate or the honours component).
(2) Subsection (1) applies regardless of whether the honours component of the course is attempted immediately after the undergraduate component, or at some later time.
(3) Despite subsection (1), the Secretary could form the opinion that a person is making satisfactory progress towards completing an honours course if the person is, or has been, affected by circumstances beyond his or her control.
Note This section may be irrelevant to honours study additional to a successfully completed honours course attached to another particular course of study. Its relevance will depend on whether or not the additional honours course is an approved course of education or study within the meaning of subsection 541B(5) of the Act.
