        The Australian Higher Education Regulator, TEQSA, has accredited Undergraduate Certificates until the end of June 2025. Students have three semesters to complete the required units for their Undergraduate Certificates: semester 2, 2024, summer semester 2024-2025, and first semester 2025. Should a student be unable to complete their Undergraduate Certificate prior to the end of June and the accreditation of these awards not be extended, Tabor will be able to transfer the student into a related Diploma where they will receive full credit for any units completed within their Undergraduate Certificate studies.
