Subject to the provisions of Rules 1.3.2 and 1.3.3 below, these Rules apply to all students who have been admitted to a course of study by the University, and who are enrolled in a UTS course including a UTS course conducted by, or in partnership with, another institution.

1.3.2 Conduct of students

The Rules of the University that relate to the conduct of a student in various circumstances apply to the conduct of an individual that occurs while he or she is a student of the University.

1.3.3 Course conducted in conjunction with another university or educational institution

(1) The application of some or all of these Rules may be excluded in the case of students who are enrolled in a UTS course which is conducted in conjunction with another university or educational institution of an appropriate standing whether in Australia or offshore in the following circumstances:

(a) this is provided for in a formal agreement between UTS and the university or institution and that agreement also provides that the rules, documented requirements or regulations, or specified components of them, of the other university or institution are expressly made to apply to the students undertaking the UTS course;

(b) the Vice-Chancellor certifies that the rules, documented requirements or regulations of the other university or institution to be so applied are appropriate and will adequately protect the interests of UTS and the students undertaking the course;

(c) the formal agreement specified in (a) above provides for the Registrar of UTS to be supplied with a copy of the specified rules, documented requirements or regulations of the other university or institution as certified by the Vice-Chancellor. The Registrar shall maintain an up-to-date Register of such rules, documented requirements or regulations of the relevant provisions of all agreements relating to this Rule, and of the Vice-Chancellor's certification under (b) above.

(2) Students will be subject to the rules, documented requirements or regulations of the approved institution for the duration of their studies at that institution only and in the specified UTS course(s). Students who transfer to UTS to continue study in the specified course(s) will then be subject to the Rules of UTS from the time of transfer.

(3) In cases where the provision of 1.3.3(1) apply, the rules, documented requirements or regulations of the other university or other institution which have been specified to apply will have the full force and effect as Rules of UTS for the purposes of the students in the relevant courses. Responsibility for the administration of such rules, documented requirements or regulations shall be specified in the respective agreement between UTS and the other university or institution, including responsibility for each university or institution to notify the other of the application of particular rules, documented requirements or regulations to particular students, and of all changes to such rules, documented requirements or regulations.

(4) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Council of UTS, on the advice of the Academic Board, may where the circumstances are sufficiently serious to warrant it, revoke or modify any specification of Rules made under Rule 1.3.3(1), above. Details of any such revocation must be kept on the Register specified in 1.3.3(1)(c) above. All agreements between UTS and another university or institution which provide for the application of rules, documented requirements or regulations under 1.3.3(1) above must also provide for their possible revocation under this clause.
