However, if Jack was to commence the Bachelor of Science in , the Bachelor of Arts would not be taken into account as it has been more than 10 years since he has undertaken any previous study at the same level.
It should be noted that Jack's allowable time will be assessed from the day on which he enrols in his current course, not from when he enrols in each year of the course.
If Jack enrols in the course in Semester 2, , his allowable time will include the study from Semester 2, His allowable time will not be reset in Semester 1, even though the previous study would be more than 10 years ago. Recipients can study a second course at the SAME level within the allowable study time rules.
This is irrespective of whether a recipient had received Austudy for the first qualification. The Secretary may approve allowable study time of up to 4 times the minimum period in particular cases 3. If a student has studied part-time for a course over a certain period, the time spent by the student on that course is taken to be the proportion of that period calculated by using the formula:. Example: Mary commenced a 3-year Bachelor of Arts in Semester 1, and all units are semester based. Provided she continues to meet the activity test, Mary will reach her allowable time at the beginning of Semester 2, However, as Austudy requires the allowable time to be exceeded before payment will cease, Mary is eligible for payment until the start of Semester 1, when her allowable time is next tested.
However, should Mary commence a summer semester, she will have achieved her allowable time at the commencement of the summer semester.
