STUDENT TRANSITION AND TEACH OUT PLAN FOR A HIGHER EDUCATION
COURSE OFFERED TO DOMESTIC/ INTERNATIONAL ONSHORE STUDENTS
VU’s approach to the transition and teach out process for the cessation of higher education courses for domestic students and international onshore
students is guided by TEQSA’s compliance requirements and on relevant VU policy for higher education courses.
http://www.teqsa.gov.au/for-providers/course-accreditation/teach-out
The first step in the process to cease offering a course at VU is the completion of the appropriate form and approval by the Provost. Please attach a
copy of approved Proposal A.

Proposal A
Proposal B
If your course has currently enrolled or pending students you will be required to complete a Student Transition and Teach out Plan after approval of
the proposal. If you have any inquiries about this process please email [email protected].
