  • Statement of Tuition Assurance
    1 STATEMENT OF TUITION ASSURANCE Under the provisions of the Higher Education Support Act 2003 (HESA) and the associated HEP Guidelines the Australian College of Theology (the First Provider) is required to provide a tuition assurance arrangement for Australian citizens or holders of an Australian permanent humanitarian visa who are enrolled in higher education courses it offers. This requirement is to protect a student in the event that the Australian College of Theology ceases to provide a course of study in which a student is enrolled. The meaning of ‘ceasing to provide a course of study’ is set out in the HEP Guidelines (http://www.backingaustraliasfuture.gov.au/guidelines/hep_guide.htm). In the event that the Australian College of Theology ceases to provide a course of study in which a student is enrolled the student is entitled to a choice of: a) an offer of a place in a similar course of study with a Second Provider without any requirement to pay the Second Provider any student contribution or tuition fee for any replacement units. If the Australian College of Theology is unable to provide a course of study, the student will be contacted by the most appropriate or convenient of the second providers, which will make all of the arrangements necessary (this is known as the “Course Assurance Option”); OR b) a refund of his or her up-front payments for any unit of study that the student commences but does not complete because the Australian College of Theology ceases to provide the course of study of which the unit forms part (this is known as the “Student Contribution/Tuition Fee Repayment Option”).

Theological Education in Australia: The Past and Present as Possible Indicators of Future Trends1 Presidential Address ANZATS Adelaide 2017 Robert K. McIver Avondale College of Higher Education Throughout its history, theological education in Australia has proved itself to be a miracle of survival in the face of the seemingly insurmountable challenge of a paucity of resources. It has largely taken place outside of the government funded universities.2 As a consequence, theological education has largely been located in a diversity of institutions—typically small and under-resourced, and most with some (often close) connection to a denominational entity or church organisation. This is in marked contrast with universities in Europe and North America, where theological education is deeply embedded into the university system, often forming one of the key faculties in the foundation of a university.
