How do I use my Student Learning Entitlement?


You will use Student Learning Entitlement (SLE) on the census date for the unit of study in which you are enrolled as a Commonwealth supported student.  Your SLE is reduced by the equivalent full-time student load (EFTSL) value of the unit.  You are not required to have enough of one particular type of SLE (eg enough ordinary SLE) to cover a unit, so long as your total SLE available for the course of study covers it.

Example

Omar enrols in a unit of study worth 0.125 EFTSL. At the time of enrolment, his total SLE is 1.025 EFTSL. It consists of:

  • 0.025 EFTSL of ordinary SLE (he has used 6.975 EFTSL of his ordinary SLE for previous study); and  
  • 1 EFTSL of additional SLE for the course of which the unit forms a part.

Omar is able to undertake the unit as a Commonwealth supported student because he has enough total SLE to cover it. His ordinary SLE is reduced to zero, and he consumes 0.1 EFTSL (the balance) of additional SLE.
