Student Management

Introduction

Student records

Student records refer to the official documents and information that education providers maintain on their students. These records contain information related to a student's academic progress, attendance, behaviour, and other relevant information.

Student records typically include personal information such as the student's name, address, and date of birth, as well as information about their academic performance, including grades, transcripts, and results. They may also include information about the student's attendance, such as their attendance history, absences, and tardiness. In addition, student records may include disciplinary information, such as any disciplinary actions taken against the student, as well as any notes or comments from teachers or administrators.

Student records are important because they serve as a permanent record of a student's academic and personal history. They can be used to verify a student's enrolment or academic progress, as well as to provide information to future schools or employers. In addition, student records are used by education providers to track student performance and identify areas where additional support or resources may be needed.

It's important to note that student records are confidential and are protected by privacy laws. Only authorized individuals, such as teachers, school administrators, and parents or guardians, have access to a student's records. 

Compliance

As an Australian CRICOS provider, there are specific student compliance requirements that need to be met to ensure that the institution is providing a safe and supportive environment for international students. The student compliance requirements for an Australian CRICOS provider are as follows:

  • Enrolment: International students must be enrolled in a CRICOS registered course.

  • Visa Requirements: International students must hold a valid student visa for the duration of their studies in Australia.

  • Attendance: International students must maintain satisfactory attendance in all scheduled classes and activities as outlined in their course timetable.

  • Academic Progress: International students must maintain satisfactory academic progress and meet the requirements of their course to ensure they complete their studies within the expected duration.

  • Course Transfer: International students must comply with any procedures for course transfers, including obtaining approval from their education provider and the Department of Home Affairs.

  • Course Completion: International students must complete their course within the expected duration or apply for an extension if necessary.

  • Welfare: International students must comply with all policies and procedures related to their welfare, including accommodation and health insurance requirements.

  • Conduct: International students must comply with all relevant legislation, regulations, and policies related to student conduct and behaviour.

  • Complaints and Appeals: International students must have access to procedures for making complaints and appeals related to their studies or welfare.

  • Record Keeping: CRICOS providers must keep accurate and up-to-date records of their international students' enrolment, attendance, academic progress, and welfare.

These compliance requirements are designed to ensure that international students are provided with a safe and supportive learning environment while studying in Australia. It is important for CRICOS providers to regularly review and update their compliance processes and procedures to ensure they continue to meet these requirements.
