Administrative Information for Providers

This administrative information for providers (AIP) has been developed to help higher education providers interpret and implement the student support policies that are enacted under Commonwealth legislation. It explains the rules and procedures associated with administering:

• places for Commonwealth supported students;
• the Student Learning Entitlement; and
• the Higher Education Loan Programme.

It should be read in conjunction with the Higher Education Support Act 2003 (HESA)   , the Higher Education Support (Transitional Provisions and Consequential Amendments) Act 2003 (TCA), and associated guidelines.
