Member Expression of Interest - TAS placement of students
Thank you for your expression of interest in placing students affected by this closure.
Instructions
1. Please read the TAS Placement Rules for Providers and complete the form on the last page
to indicate that you have read and understand the rules of receiving TAS students.
2. Complete the ‘TAS placement capacity’ table with the vacancy numbers and commencement
dates relevant to your college.
3. All pages should be returned to ACPET by 2 WORKING DAYS FROM E-CIRCULAR.
4. Email to tas.relocations@acpet.edu.au or Fax to 03 9416 1895
5. Please initial each page to indicate you have read and understood this information. If all
pages are not initialled, signed and/or the table is incomplete this document will be returned to
you for completion before it can be entered as a genuine placement offer.
From the ACPET Membership Kit – What the TAS Scheme provides
ACPET will arrange for any overseas student who has not withdrawn from the provider and requires
placement due to:
 the course not commencing on the agreed starting date;
 the course ceasing to be provided after it has started; or
 the full course not being delivered because a sanction has been imposed on the provider;
To be offered enrolment in a suitable comparable course with minimum disruption to studies and no
financial disadvantage to the student. The member receiving the overseas student will make no
additional tuition charge for the portion of the previous course for which full payment has been
received by the member provider who is no longer able to continue that course. The new provider is
entitled to charge the normal tuition fee for any portion of a course not previously paid for by the
overseas student.
Please note that participation in placement of displaced students does not alter or discount
membership fees or Tuition Assurance Scheme fees. Placing students under the TAS is part of the
agreement for becoming an ACPET member and being part of the Tuition Assurance Scheme.
Allocation


Please note that an expression of interest does not guarantee an allocation of students as
ACPET may receive more offers of places than students displaced.
Student allocation is calculated on an equal percentage basis. Due to difficulties gaining
student records (records are usually incomplete or inaccurate), student enrolments may vary
from student allocation numbers.
If there are only small numbers of students to be allocated the equal percentage calculation
will serve as a guide but location will also be used to make an allocation.
If ACPET allocate students to your college, your nominated college contact will receive a
Letter of Allocation informing you of your allocated number and ask for Enrolment/Information
Meeting details. The Enrolment/Information Meeting details are then added onto the ACPET
Letter of Offer sent to students.
A list of allocated students, their academic & financial records (where available) will be sent
to you prior to your Enrolment/Information Meeting.
Once the placement process is complete ACPET will ask that you provide a list of students
who have been enrolled in your college.
Student Information
ACPET will supply to each college, the academic information and financial information as supplied to
us for each student given a letter of offer to attend your college. These records must be accepted as
‘bona fide’. If a student is able to produce evidence by way of a bank transfer of additional payments
being made to the closed college, then the member college must accept these as the correct financial

records. If no records are available students must be provided with RPL/Challenge Testing at no cost
to them.
TAS Placement Rules for Providers




All students are entitled to a credit free tuition period based on the pre-paid tuition fees they
have lost due to the closure of the College
The new course must be similarly comparable to the costs and duration of the courses held at
the closed college, so relocation colleges must be prepared to make amendments where
necessary to be able to take students.
The displaced students cannot be charged an admission or enrollment fee
The ESOS Act 2000 states that a displaced student cannot be financially disadvantaged twice
Students finishing their qualification must be given their Certification/Diploma from the new
college, recognizing their entire studies, not just what they have completed at the new college
Students must be given the offer by the new college in writing, which includes costs, payment
schedules/schemes and duration of the course
RPL cannot be charged for but must be available to each student
ACPET do not give refunds to students
ACPET do not have student’s funds from the closed college
ACPET do not transfer any fees to member colleges to accept students
ACPET do not pay member colleges to accept students from ACPET funds
The TAS arrangements (as managed by ACPET) cover the cost of lost tuition only
The TAS arrangements (as managed by ACPET) cover the same course, the same outcome,
the same costs
TAS placement capacity
Please complete the ‘vacant places’ and ‘commencement date’ columns next to the course for which
you are interested in taking TAS students.
Note: This may be a full list of courses on the scope of the closed college. There may be no
enrolments in some courses, thus no placement required, however this information cannot be
confirmed until students have completed their forms for ACPET.
Course Name
Only exact course matches should be entered. If you have a different training package of a course
please do not enter it in this table as ACPET must offer students the same course.
If a course has been superseded and you offer the new training package please write this BELOW the
table.
Course Fees
Colleges must offer a comparable fee to that of the closed college. By noting your vacancies and
signing this form you are agreeing to alter your course fees to match those of the closed college for all
TAS placements received as a result of this Expression of Interest submission.
