Performance requirement - passing more than half

Access to a Student Allowance must be suspended if a student failed to pass the equivalent of more than half the work of a full-time course in the last tertiary course they received a Student Allowance for.

Where the failure was for reasons beyond the student's control, their access to a Student Allowance may not be suspended.

A limited full-time student only needs to pass more than half of the course that they were undertaking.

The 'passing more than half' requirement does not apply to secondary school study.
