Summary of Changes from Previous Version

The scope of the Policy has been corrected to apply only to AQF award programs delivered by RMIT and partners, and therefore exclude non-award programs and creds. The Policy now provides clearer differentiation of responsibilities for the colleges and portfolios, the Academic Registrar and the Academic Registrar’s Group. Details around the authority to certify and confer awards have been improved for clarity
