International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from The weekly workshops and the discussion with the students.
This unit is virtually taught online. The number of students wanting face to face classes are so minimal that they are moved to the online class. The students who attend the online class are very motivated as they intend to seek registration as tax agents in the future. There is a constant pressure to keep up-to-date with changes in taxation law and this is achieved by the weekly email from the Tax Institute that I am a member of.
The unit is working well and achieves what it is intended to do. I make sure that the content meets the requirements of the Tax Practitioners Board.
