Appeal against the decision of the Secretary on review to uphold StudyLink's decision to decline the appellant's application for a Student Allowance. Two issues: whether student is "enrolled in a full-time course at a tertiary provider", and whether a lack of subject options necessitating her part-time study in two separate programmes at two different providers in order to achieve her overall chosen course of study is "a sufficient cause outside [her] control".
