University of Canberra (Granting of Status) Revocation Statute 2011  
Disallowable Instrument DI2011- 226
made under the  
University of Canberra Act 1989, s40 
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT  
	
The University of Canberra (Granting of Status) Revocation Statute 2011 revokes the Granting of Status Statute 1995.  
In 2006 Council endorsed a recommendation from the Legislation Committee of Council that policies be the preferred instrument instead of statutes and rules (Recommendation C110/13 – 6 December 2006).  Council agreed that the use of statutes and rules would primarily be restricted to when penalties need to be applied or when required  under the provisions of the University of Canberra Act 1989 (ACT). 
In the case of the granting of status for University courses, the Academic Board of the University has approved policies covering the granting of status (ie. credit for previous study or work-based experience). The policies will replace the Granting of Status statute and rules.
