CRICOS – What’s Different Single set of templates / processes for universities and private providers – driven by private provider data needs; Monash negotiating with TEQSA re their data requirements; Monash may amend course approval template to align with TEQSA requirements; No suspension of a course –Either active or disestablished; –Up to faculties to suspend on Callista, Course Finder etc.; No form for changes to course titles (done by email); No 25% rule for determining if a course is a new course – university course amendment process to determine this on advice from Education Policy Committee. 4 April 2012 CRICOS Working Party 5

CRICOS – What’s Different Cannot make any public statements or advertisements that imply that: –A course is accredited; –A course is in the process of being accredited; –The applicant is authorised to confer the qualification. This includes marketing a course as “subject to approval”; Need to amend ESOS Compliance Manual and website procedures. 4 April 2012 CRICOS Working Party 6
