When to use it
Use when a provider is considering extending an overseas student's enrolment because of course progress, before the enrolment is extended.
Used for these tasks
Each task page says how far AI may help with the task and what the lawyer must review.
How AI may be used
The tool records the circumstance and the document titles the lawyer supplies, and the lawyer decides whether the enrolment can be extended.
AI may
- List the three circumstances in the words of the fact sheet.
- Attach document titles and dates the lawyer supplies for compassionate or compelling circumstances.
- Record the fact sheet's examples of those circumstances, marked as examples only.
AI must not
- Do not decide that compassionate or compelling circumstances exist.
- Do not advise the student on a visa application.
- Do not add an online-learning limit. That part of the fact sheet is not applied in this record.
The lawyer checks
- Read the punctuation of the fact sheet. It joins the intervention-strategy circumstance and the deferral circumstance with 'or'. It does not put 'or' after the compassionate-or-compelling circumstance.
- If the student's visa will expire before the extended end date, the fact sheet says the student will need to apply for a new Student visa (subclass 500). This record does not make that application.
- Keep copies of the documents relied on in the student's file, as the fact sheet says the provider should.
Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
