University of Canberra (Academic Progress) Statute 2015

made under the  
University of Canberra Act 1989, s 40 (Statutes)
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Section 40 of the University of Canberra Act 1989 gives the university Council the power to make Statutes.

The Academic Progress Statute 1995 has been revoked and replaced by a new Statute, the University of Canberra (Academic Progress) Statute 2015. The new Statute provides a definition of academic probation and the imposition of academic probation. These definitions will help ease the administration of the regulation. A savings provision has been included to maintain decisions taken under the previous Statute.

Section 42 of the University of Canberra Act 1989 requires that a Statute, once made by Council, be submitted by the Chancellor to the Executive for approval.
