Australian Capital Territory
University of Canberra (Academic Progress) Statute 2017
Disallowable instrument DI2017–306
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.

This instrument revokes the University of Canberra (Academic Progress) Statute 2015 and substitutes the University of Canberra (Academic Progress) Statute 2017.
The new Statute omits definitions and operative provisions that will instead be incorporated in Rules. These omissions allow for greater flexibility and responsiveness in circumstances where the University wishes to implement changes to its internal procedures for academic probation and review.

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.
