Transition arrangements apply when:

  • An accredited program has been reaccredited

Faculties are required to submit applications to extend the Scope of Registration to replace qualifications/programs for superseded qualifications that are deemed equivalent. In this instance, the Faculty is required to complete the Scope of Registration - Transition Arrangements application form with approval from the Deputy Vice-Chancellor - Schools & Programs and attach a copy of the relevant Faculty’s Board minutes.

Superseded qualifications and courses will remain on the Scope until such time as the Faculty requests theirremoval; ASQA will not remove any qualifications from the Scope without a written request from the University. It is the responsibility of the Faculty to remove superseded qualifications and courses from the Scope following the transition period.

New Enrolments: Once the Training Package has been endorsed all new enrolments should be in the new qualification/program.

Current Enrolments: Where possible currently enrolled students should be given the opportunity to transfer to the new qualification/program. However, before making this decision, consider the proportion of the qualification/program that has been completed by the student and the degree of alignment.

Processing Times: Processing of applications may take between one to four months, depending on whether ASQA deems a site visit is required (this will be based on a risk assessment of the RTO). Faculties are encouraged to plan any additions to the Scope of Registration well in advance to ensure that any requests have been processed prior to the date that they will be required.

Fees to Amend Scope: All applications for extending the Scope of Registration submitted to ASQA will incur a fee; no fee applies for the removing of items from the Scope. All costs will be incurred by the Faculties. ASQA fees and charges

Faculties must provide purchase card details when submitting applications to extend the Scope of Registration.
