View history note
Hide history noteA person may be entitled to HECS-HELP assistance for a unit of study for which the person is a Commonwealth supported student if, among other things, the unit is covered by the person ' s Student Learning Entitlement.
Broadly speaking, a person will start with an SLE amount that is equivalent to 7 years of full-time study. However, the person ' s SLE amount may be added to for the purposes of certain courses of study or in certain circumstances.
A person ' s SLE amount is reduced as the person undertakes units of study as a Commonwealth supported student. A unit of study undertaken as part of an enabling course does not reduce the person ' s SLE amount. The person ' s SLE amount may also be re-credited in certain circumstances.
