The proposal would reinstate the 50% pass rate rule.

The 50% pass rate rule states that after 8 units of a bachelor’s degree or higher qualification, a student must maintain a pass rate of 50% of the units they attempt to remain eligible for a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) or Higher Education Loan Program (HELP) loans.

The proposal would be ongoing and start from 1 July 2025.
