All Australian citizens, New Zealand citizens and holders of a permanent visa are allocated a Student Learning Entitlement (SLE). This is measured in equivalent full time student load (EFTSL), which is the proportion of a full time load that a unit of study represents. Your higher education provider sets an EFTSL value for each unit of study it offers. To be Commonwealth supported for a unit, you must have enough SLE to cover the EFTSL value of that unit.
