Policy Detail. 2.1 The Learning Agreement for any particular student is drawn up by the Head of Subject or nominee as required, following discussion within the course team. The Learning Agreement should contain a set of conditions which are binding and which must be adhered to by the student without exception. The Learning Agreement details the behaviours required of the student and any supportive measures being put in place (for example meetings with Student Support Services, Senior Tutors, study skills sessions).
2.2 The Learning Agreement is discussed by the Head of Subject (or nominee, usually a Course Coordinator) and the student at a meeting called for this purpose. The Learning Agreement is signed by both the student and the Head of Subject or nominee, each retaining a dated copy.
2.3 Review meetings should take place following the implementation of the Learning Agreement, at the frequency noted within the Learning Agreement. Both the initial meeting and the subsequent review meetings are opportunities for the student and the Head of Subject (or nominee) to review progress and to explore any issues which may be impacting on the student’s academic progress, health and wellbeing. Attendance at these meetings is mandatory and forms part of the Learning Agreement. Should a student subsequently be subject to the Health, Wellbeing and Fitness to Study policy, any current Learning Agreement should be reviewed for its appropriateness and may be rescinded.
2.4 Failure to adhere to the terms of a Learning Agreement may ultimately result in academic failure and withdrawal following consideration at an assessment board. Students who consistently fail to engage with the terms of the Learning Agreement may be advised to intermit or withdraw from their course at the earliest available opportunity.

Policy Detail. Any breach of a GEH tenancy agreement condition or part of the Residential Tenancies Act 1999 can result in termination of the tenancy. However, CEO (Housing) treats some breaches as less serious and will only seek termination for a breach where the tenant has seriously or repeatedly breached the terms of the tenancy agreement. Breaches such as the use of illegal drugs on the premises or extensive damage to the premises are considered serious and are more likely to result in immediate termination. Some serious breaches will be taken directly to the police or to the local courts, which can halt CEO (Housing)’s termination process until the matter is finalised by the authorities. Under the Residential Tenancies Act 1999, CEO (Housing) may give the tenant a notice of intention to terminate the tenancy for a breach. This is in addition to any warning letters or notifications which are communicated with the tenant. For a notice to be withdrawn, both CEO (Housing) and the tenant must sign a document stating that the notice has been withdrawn.
4.1. Cleanliness and damage Tenants have a responsibility under section 51 of the Residential Tenancies Act 1999 to not maintain the premises in an unreasonably dirty condition, allowing for reasonable wear and tear; and to not intentionally or negligently damage the premises, ancillary property or common property in unit complexes. When a breach of the tenancy agreement in relation to cleanliness is identified through an inspection or external observation, the tenant will be notified of the requirement to remedy the breach. If the breach is not remedied, CEO (Housing) may seek termination of the tenancy. Tenant damage is considered to be any intentional or negligent damage caused or permitted to the premises, ancillary property or common property by the tenant, a recognised occupier, pets, or a visitor. CEO (Housing) may seek immediate termination of a tenancy for serious tenant damage under section 97(2) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1999.
4.2. No illegal conduct or nuisance on premises Tenants have a responsibility under section 54 of the Residential Tenancies Act 1999 that they must not use the premises or cause the premises for an illegal purpose; or cause or permit a nuisance on the premises; or cause or permit ongoing or repeated interference with the reasonable peace or privacy of another person in premises of the premises to which the agreement states. For more information of illegal conduct please see the Illeg...
Policy Detail. It is the Department’s preference that any breach of a tenancy agreement be remedied so that the tenancy can continue. Any breach of a tenancy agreement condition or part of the Residential Tenancies Act 1999 can result in termination of the tenancy. However, the Department treats some breaches as less serious and will only seek termination for a breach where the tenant has seriously or repeatedly breached the terms of the tenancy agreement. Breaches such as the use of illegal drugs on the premises or extensive damage to the premises are considered serious and are more likely to result in immediate termination. Some serious breaches will be taken directly to the police or to the local courts, which can halt the Department’s termination process until the matter is finalised by the authorities. Under the Residential Tenancies Act 1999, the Department may give the tenant a notice of intention to terminate the tenancy for a breach. This is in addition to any warning letters or notifications which are communicated with the tenant. For a notice to be withdrawn, both the Department and the tenant must sign a document stating that the notice has been withdrawn.
