• you completed your program (your earlier program) with ºÚÁÏÍø´óÊÂ¼Ç before the commencement day (1 January 2021) and, on or after that day, you began your honours program with ºÚÁÏÍø´óÊÂ¼Ç that relates to the earlier program and that is leading to a higher education award that is an honours degree;
• you were undertaking, in 2020, an enabling program and, on or after the commencement day (1 January 2021), you began another program that is leading to a higher education award; and
• you were, at any time before the commencement day, a Commonwealth supported student in relation to course in the ongoing program, earlier program or enabling program (as the case may be); and
• you undertake a course as part of the ongoing program, honours program or later program (as the case may be) that has a census date that is on or after the commencement day (1 January 2021); and
• that unit of study is a grandfathered unit.

• Any student who began their program (with a census date after the commencement day of 1 January 2021) where;
  • you were not undertaking, in 2020, an enabling program; or
  • you are not commencing an honours program (after the commencement day of 1 January 2021) with ºÚÁÏÍø´óÊÂ¼Ç after completing a bachelor degree with ºÚÁÏÍø´óÊÂ¼Ç in a related degree (before the commencement day of 1 January 2021).

• Students in an international fee paying program that apply for a Commonwealth supported place (CSP) in the same program, due to a residency change, where the first census date in their CSP is after the commencement date of 1 January 2021.
