Learning Delivery
Stanley College is an Australian Government Registered Institute of Higher Education (IHE). It must deliver
learning according to the Higher Education Standards Framework (Threshold Standards) 2021
(http://www.teqsa.gov.au/regulatory-approach/higher-education-standards-framework) and the Australian
Qualifications Framework (AQF) (available at www.aqf.edu.au). The requirements of all units for the course are
available via LMS Canvas. Students are briefed about the requirements of each unit at the beginning of each
semester.

Higher education learning comprises theory and practical learning delivery components including: Workshop
discussions, Presentations, Case Studies, Group Assignments, Report Writing, and Examinations. All units of
study under this agreement are delivered entirely face-to-face.

Study Modes
The Stanley College Bachelor of Business involves the following study modes:
● Face-to-face / classroom-based (24 units of study over 6 semesters/3 years)
● Work integrated learning (see below).

Work Integrated Learning


Work Integrated Learning (WIL) is an umbrella term used for a range of approaches and strategies that integrate
theory with the practice of work within a purposefully designed curriculum. WIL activities may include work
placements, fieldwork, industry-based projects, case studies, simulations, virtual simulations, reflective journals,
problem-based learning, mentoring from industry partners, work-related presentations and role plays. For more
information, refer to our Work Integrated Learning and Placements Policy and Procedure, and Work Integrated
Learning Guidelines.

The Business Practicum (BUS303) unit is the highlight of the WIL curriculum-based program. This will be
undertaken in the third year.

Students will need to work with the coordinator of the Business Practicum to express their preferences in respect
of the type of organisation or functional focus that they would prefer. Students will be selected by participating
organisations and are likely to have to interview for the placement.

Students will undertake approximately 100–120 hours’ work experience with the selected organisation. It is
expected that students will work on a defined project or set of activities in the organisation. They will provide a
report to the organisation and as part of their assessment, produce a reflective paper on their experience, and
write a final report on their project or activities.

In rare cases in which a significant placement is not available, students will work on a real project for an
organisation. The project will include some time initially with the client scoping the project and developing an
understanding of key internal and external considerations. They will then undertake research to develop a
proposal or plan for the organisation and will then present this to the organisation.

As a key component of the WIL program, the Business Practicum (BUS303) will provide students with:

a) Practical environments and contexts to apply their personal and academic skills;
b) Opportunities to apply theoretical concepts to workplace scenarios; and

Page 9 of 19
c) Relevant work experience to develop and refine the skills and knowledge attained in units and the course
as a whole.

Course Progress Policy and Procedure


As an International Student you are required to maintain satisfactory course progress as a condition of your
student visa. Stanley College must monitor, assess and record your course progress, and must intervene if you
are at risk of unsatisfactory course progress. This requirement is as per the National Code of Practice for
Providers of Education and Training to Overseas Students 2018 (Standard 8).
Course progress is assessed using the final results of all units studied in a given semester.
Satisfactory course progress is determined at the end of each semester. Satisfactory course progress is
achieved when a student:
a. Obtains a Pass grade or better for 50% or more of the units attempted during the semester; and
b. Does not fail the same unit for a second time.

Unsatisfactory course progress arises when a student at risk:


a. Does not obtain a Pass grade or fails 50% or more of the units attempted for two (2) consecutive
semesters;
b. Fails the same unit for a second time

Where you are assessed as having unsatisfactory course progress, Stanley College must issue you with a Notice
of our Intention to Report – Unsatisfactory Course Progress, to the Department of Education and Training, via
PRISMS. The Department of Home Affairs is notified of a student whose course has been deferred, suspended
or cancelled through PRISMS, which may affect your student visa.

Please refer to the Student Progress Policy and Procedure for further details.

Stanley College is committed to supporting the rights of all people to pursue their studies. To successfully
complete your studies, you will need to be able to demonstrate that you meet the study requirements associated
with your course. For information that will help you to determine your capacity to meet the study requirements,
please read the relevant Unit Outlines that will be accessible on Canvas for your course. Where Stanley College
identifies that you are at-risk of having unsatisfactory course progress, we will implement our Intervention
Strategy.

Factors that could affect your course progress:


• Submitting plagiarised/copied work which has resulted in Fail result for the Unit.
• Not completing pre-requisite units required to progress to the next unit of study.
• Not submitting assignments by the due date.
• Absenteeism

Attendance
Class attendance is compulsory for all students.
In accordance with the Student Progress Policy, Stanley College is not required to monitor attendance but does
so to:
a. Identify students at risk of unsatisfactory progress at an early stage. It is Stanley College’s policy that a
student should maintain a minimum of 80% attendance in order to maximise the outcome of achieving
satisfactory course progress. Students who continue to demonstrate poor attendance will be contacted to
attend an interview with the Student Engagement Coordinator to discuss the situation and, if required, an
intervention plan to address attendance issues will be established.
b. Increase attendance and implement follow up procedures associated with any critical incident or welfare
issues involving students in a class.

You will be provided with the class schedule at Orientation. The schedule outlines the days, times and venues
your classes will be conducted.

Page 10 of 19
Sick leave
Absence due to sickness must be evidenced with a valid medical certificate signed by a registered doctor in
Australia. The Attendance register may be adjusted upon presentation of the medical certificate to Stanley
College.

Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC)


If you are applying to study as a student visa holder, the Australian Department of Home Affairs (DHA) requires
that you have Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for the entire duration of your student visa. This means

until you leave Australia or move to a non-student visa subclass. Stanley College’s preferred OSHC provider is
Medibank and AHM and you are provided with an Overseas Health Insurance Policy. Policy details can be found
at Medibank (https://www.medibank.com.au/overseas-health-insurance/). Alternatively, you may also choose
any OSHC provider of your own preference.

Please note: If you plan to arrive prior to the start of your OSHC cover, you must immediately contact the College
or your health insurance provider to request that the cover starts earlier. This may mean that there are
additional costs. If you intend to study on another temporary resident visa subclass (not student visa), please
ensure you have adequate health insurance that meets the conditions applicable to your visa.

Student Support Services


As a student at Stanley College, we offer a variety of support services to assist you to develop the personal skills
needed to achieve both your academic and personal goals. These services range from personal and careers
counselling, mentoring, cultural support and accessibility support services for those students with a disability or
