Procedure overview

1 Purpose

To provide a framework for the establishment, monitoring and termination of Coursework Dual and Joint Award agreements between the University and other educational institutions.

2 Scope

This Procedure applies to Coursework Dual and Joint Awards.

This Procedure does not apply to:

3 Procedure Overview

This procedure outlines the process for assessing, establishing, monitoring and reviewing arrangements which include the delivery of Coursework Dual and Joint Awards in accordance with the University's strategic goals and its obligations as a registered higher education provider.

This Procedure aligns with the:

  • Higher Education Standards Framework (Threshold Standards) 2021: Standards 1.5 (Qualifications and Certification); 3.1 (Course Design); 5.4 (Delivery with Other Parties)
  • National Code of Practice for Providers of Education and Training to Overseas Students 2018: Standard 2 Recruitment of an overseas student.

4 Procedures

Dual and Joint Awards are established by the University to provide Students with access to the best possible combinations of studies to meet their educational and professional aspirations, and to create opportunities for Students to participate in collaborative Awards which are beyond the scope of a single institution to offer.

New Dual and Joint Awards may be proposed by areas of the University as opportunities arise through existing partnerships or in recognition of the needs of a Student cohort.

The University (UniSQ) enters into arrangements for the delivery of programs jointly with other domestic or international institutions in a number of ways, including by establishing:

  • a Joint Award, under which a Coursework Program is delivered jointly by UniSQ and one or more partner institutions. Upon completion of the program, a Student receives a single Award conferred jointly by those institutions
  • a Dual Award, under which a Student is enrolled concurrently at two institutions and is conferred an Award from each institution on completion of all program requirements.

Consideration of a Coursework Dual and Joint Award partnership will be guided by the following criteria:

  • the partnership is in alignment with UniSQ's vision, values, and strategic priorities
  • the academic standards of the Coursework Dual or Joint Award and the Student learning experience are equivalent to those of comparable Awards conferred solely by UniSQ and enable Students to achieve the required Program Learning Outcomes.

Proposals for new Dual or Joint Awards may be initiated by any Employee using the applicable form available on UniSQ's service management system. Proposals must include:

  • evidence of consultation with all relevant academic and administrative areas expected to be involved in the delivery of the proposed arrangement
  • details of any resourcing requirements.

4.1 Proposal assessment

Once all documents are submitted, the proposal is assessed by the assigned professional teams in consultation with the Dean (Academic) and relevant Heads/s of School.

As part of the assessment, due diligence is conducted to evaluate the following criteria:

  • capacity of the partner institution to deliver the program to the academic standards required by UniSQ. This includes adequate staff qualifications, resources and facilities, Student support services and internal quality assurance processes
  • the capacity to enter into a legally binding Dual or Joint Award agreement with UniSQ
  • financial sustainability to deliver the program
  • compliance with all applicable laws, regulatory requirements and UniSQ policies
  • management of Risks of foreign interference in line with the Guidelines to counter foreign interference in the Australian university sector.

Based on the assessment and due diligence findings, a recommendation is made to the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic Affairs) and, where applicable, the Pro Vice-Chancellor (International) for further consideration.

4.2 Decision

Upon receiving the recommendation, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic Affairs) and, where applicable, the Pro Vice-Chancellor (International), considers the proposal and determines whether the proposal:

  • proceeds to the next step;
  • is returned to the proposal initiator for further consultation and development; or
  • is deemed not viable or not sufficiently aligned with UniSQ's strategic priorities.

The outcome of the Decision is communicated to the proposal initiator and, if the proposal is deemed not viable, the request will be formally closed.

4.3 Negotiations and program development

Prior to the commencement of the partnership negotiations, a comprehensive business plan is developed detailing a cost and Risk analysis of the new arrangement to assess the feasibility, strengths and potential challenges of the proposed collaboration.

The business plan must outline an exit strategy, including the need for appropriate Teach-out arrangements, if the partner institution ceases operations or if the agreement is terminated.

Dual or Joint Award arrangements are negotiated with the potential partner by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic Affairs), or nominee, for domestic partners and the Pro Vice-Chancellor (International), or nominee, for international partners.

A Dual or Joint Award is a new program offering and is developed and approved in accordance with the Program Accreditation Procedure. Where the program has previously been approved for offering as a standalone UniSQ program, approval will still be required before the program can be offered as a reciprocal Joint or Dual Award.

4.3.1 Developing a new Dual Award

The program design process for a new Dual Award will be subject to a Stage 1 Initial program proposal, in accordance with Section 4.3.1 of the Program Accreditation Procedure. In consultation with the relevant School/College, the Dean (Academic):

  • undertakes preliminary consultation to outline the potential structure, benefits and goals of the proposed collaboration
  • establishes a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to formalise the commitment and create a framework for cooperation, roles, responsibilities and processes to be followed by both providers.

4.3.2 Developing a new Joint Award

Developing a Joint Award requires close collaboration between UniSQ and the partner institution to ensure the program meets the academic standards of both providers and satisfies any regulatory or accreditation requirements. The process typically involves joint decision-making, clear communication, and coordination between the parties to create a cohesive and high-quality academic offering.

Joint Award Curriculum Design is subject to the Coursework Curriculum Design Policy and subordinate Policy Instruments.

When developing a Joint Award program, the following requirements must be taken into account:

  • UniSQ's Admission standards and relevant program English language proficiency requirements
  • UniSQ's program requirements for a Student to qualify for a UniSQ Award
  • UniSQ's Assessment design and moderation requirements and the setting of academic standards with regards to its Courses.

All applicable policies of each institution will be adhered to under the Dual or Joint Award agreement. Explicit exceptions to UniSQ Policy Instruments must be approved by the Provost.

4.4 In-principle endorsement and approval

The business plan and the new Coursework Program approval are added to the documentation submitted with the initial proposal. Once combined, this full set of documents is forwarded to the Quality and Standards Committee for consideration.

Endorsed proposals are progressed to the agreement development stage. Proposals that are not endorsed may be returned to the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic Affairs) and, where applicable, the Pro Vice-Chancellor (International) for further consideration and development.

4.5 Establishment

4.5.1 Agreement content

Contractual agreements for Coursework Dual and Joint Awards will be managed through the University's centralised Contract Management System, using templates approved by the Legal Office.

Due diligence reports, background on the proposed partnership, and negotiated details must be provided when submitting the agreement request to the Legal Office.

At a minimum, the contractual agreement between the University and the partner institution will include provisions for Student administration, agreement management and governance mechanisms.

Student-related provisions include:

  • Admission requirements
  • specification of the partner institution's language of instruction and assessment, if applicable.
  • Enrolment status of Students (whether Students are to be enrolled at both institutions simultaneously or consecutively) and study load
  • living and other costs to be considered by the Student, for onshore program delivery
  • access to institutional resources through the relevant learning management system or other mechanisms
  • Credit arrangements, where applicable
  • collection and handling of Personal Information, including by a third party
  • conditions for Students to exit the Award, where applicable
  • Student Grievance resolution, Review of Decision and Appeal processes.

Agreement management and governance provisions include:

  • fee setting
  • academic governance responsibilities and comparable processes at both institutions for Assessment, Academic and General Misconduct, program quality assurance and monitoring of Academic Progress
  • Title of the Award to be conferred
  • process for notifying the partner institution of any changes to the program of study
  • processes for monitoring and reviewing Dual and Joint Award agreements and conditions for the renewal or termination of the agreement, in accordance with Section 4.9 of this Procedure
  • the agreement end date and provisions for Students enrolled at that date, including any Teach-out arrangements, where applicable
  • process for dispute resolution.
  • No intakes of Students into the Joint or Dual Award will be made other than in accordance with the agreement.

In addition to the above conditions, the agreement for a Joint Award must include a mechanism for overseeing and resolving academic governance issues between UniSQ and the partner institution.

Matters requiring further resolution should be referred to the Academic Board, or equivalent, of each institution. Where Academic Boards provide conflicting requirements, the dispute resolution section of the agreement will be invoked to resolve the matter.

4.5.2 Agreement execution

Once the agreement content has been finalised, the contractual agreement must be signed by the Vice-Chancellor on behalf of UniSQ. Fully executed agreements will be reported to the Provost via the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic Affairs) and, where applicable, to the International Strategy Committee.

The Vice-Chancellor will inform Academic Board and Council of the execution of the partnership agreement and its commencement date.

If the delivery involves on-shore International Students, CRICOS registration must be initiated, and approval must be received before any International Student can participate in the Dual or Joint Award. A copy of the agreement will be retained on the Contract Management System.

4.6 Award conferral

For Dual Awards, each partner institution confers its own separate Award, resulting in two (or more) Awards. Where Awards are dual-badged, the UniSQ Testamur may include the logo of the partner institution and vice versa.

For Joint Awards, a single Award is jointly conferred by UniSQ and the partner institution. The certification takes the form of a single Testamur and includes a statement recognising the Joint Award, with equal prominence given to both institutions' names and emblems.

Students undertaking a jointly conferred program may choose to have their Award conferred by either their 'host' or 'home' institution.

4.7 Exiting an Award

Students may be provided with the opportunity to exit their Dual or Joint Award. If this option is available, Exit Awards and paths must be specified in the contractual agreement. Students must be fully advised of their exit options before enrolling in the Joint or Dual Award and at key points throughout their studies.

4.7.1 Dual Awards

Students who choose to exit their Dual Award studies may complete a single Award with one institution.

Where a Decision is made to discontinue a Dual Award, arrangements will be made to ensure that Students receive opportunities to fulfill their academic goals, including via Exit Award degrees and clear advice on eligible Credit Transfer.

4.7.2 Joint Awards

A Joint Award may include exit points that allow a Student to exit with a different AQF qualification. Such options may only be provided with the agreement and input of all partner institutions.

4.8 Monitoring and review

Dual and Joint Award arrangements will be subject to the relevant review and monitoring processes specified in the contractual agreement to ensure the partnership is operating as intended.

Course and program quality will be monitored and reviewed in accordance with UniSQ's academic quality assurance monitoring and review processes. Review outcomes will be included in annual quality assurance reporting to Academic Board.

4.9 Renewal and termination

Before renewing any Dual or Joint Award agreement, the arrangement will be reviewed to ensure that the contractual obligations of each partner institution are being effectively implemented and that the academic, business and strategic case for continuing the arrangement remains warranted.

The responsibilities and authority to approve the renewal of a Dual or Joint Award arrangement are the same as for the initial establishment, as outlined in Section 4.5.2.

4.9.1 Termination of an agreement

Dual and Joint Award agreements may be terminated prior to the expiry of an agreement, if the University determines that there is no longer a need to maintain the Dual or Joint Award, or in accordance with the termination or exit clauses in the agreement.

Termination must be approved by the Vice-Chancellor, following a recommendation from the International Strategy Committee for international partners or the Quality and Standards Committee for domestic partners.

Where a Dual or Joint Award is terminated in advance of the agreement's nominated expiry date, UniSQ must notify Students of the arrangement termination. Appropriate advice, support and Transition arrangements must be initiated for currently enrolled Students, as outlined in the agreement and in accordance with the Program Change, Suspension and Discontinuation Procedure.
