9   Automatic transitional registration

(1) A higher education provider is taken to be a registered higher education provider for the purposes of the TEQSA Act if:

(a) immediately before the transition time, the provider offers or confers an overseas higher education award for the completion of an overseas course of study provided from Australian premises related to the award; and

(b) immediately before the transition time, the provider is not required to be registered under a State or Territory law relating to higher education; and

(c) before the transition time, TEQSA receives from the provider a notice, in the approved form, requesting that the provider be taken to be a registered higher education provider because of this item.

(2) Division 3 of Part 3 of the TEQSA Act does not apply to this registration (the transitional registration ).

Note: The provider cannot apply under the TEQSA Act to have this transitional registration renewed. Instead, it may apply under Division 1 of Part 3 of the TEQSA Act for registration under that Part.
