SECTION 70-1 What this Part is about  
70-1

Student Learning Entitlement (or SLE) is needed for many of the forms of assistance under this Act. In these cases, units of study that a person enrols in must be covered by the person's SLE.

Broadly speaking, a person starts with an SLE equivalent to 7 years of full-time study. This is reduced as the person undertakes units of study as a Commonwealth supported student (but it can be re-credited in some circumstances).
