Match the change to a row on TEQSA's CRICOS notifications table.

TEQSA states that section 17A of the Education Services for Overseas Students Act 2000 and Standard 11.3 of the National Code require notice to TEQSA as the ESOS agency. Standard 11.3 requires notice of a proposed change to the registration of a course at least 30 days before the change takes effect. TEQSA's table covers course duration including holiday breaks, mode of study including online, distance or work-integrated learning, the maximum number of overseas students at a location, and a new or terminated arrangement with another provider. Section 17A requires notice within 10 business days after an event that would significantly affect the provider's ability to comply with the Act. A prospective change of ownership is notified as soon as practicable before it takes effect. A prospective or actual change relating to a related person of the provider is notified as soon as practicable before it takes effect, or, if it cannot be known until it takes effect, within 10 business days after it takes effect. Notices go through the provider portal on the approved form. The page was last updated on 5 July 2023. The lawyer confirms the current form. A provider registered under the TEQSA Act may also need the separate material-change notice. This task does not replace that one. | | Written for / versions | 1 jurisdiction versions below | ## Checking plan **Source-by-source verification** Trace relied-on content to the file and leave the decision to the lawyer. - What the AI does: From the proposed change, list the course, the location, the date the change is to take effect, the date 30 days before that, and the date 10 business days after the event if it has already occurred.

Use 30 days before the effective date for a Standard 11.3 course change, and 10 business days after the event for a section 17A event that has occurred. 2. Keep a change of ownership on the 'as soon as practicable before' timing, not on the 10-business-day after timing. 3. Confirm the portal form is the one the lawyer has checked against the current TEQSA page, and that it is not lodged from the tool's table. ## Notes - These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI. ## Sources - [TEQSA: Notifications and approvals required of CRICOS registered providers, page last updated 5 July 2023](https://www.teqsa.gov.au/cricos-and-elicos/notifications-and-approvals-required-cricos-registered-providers) (checked 2026-10-22) ## Jurisdiction versions | Jurisdiction | Level | | --- | --- | | [United States](https://ailawframework.com/practice/education-law/map-the-notices-before-a-change-to-an-overseas-student-registration/united-states.md) | Yellow | *Practice guidance for planning and review.
