When the law a course teaches changes and we update the course for it, the change is listed here with its date, the law, and what changed in the course. This list begins on 10 October 2026. A course not listed has had no update of this kind since then; it is not a statement that nothing in its subject has changed. Clause 3.2C of the Terms of Enrolment says how far keeping a course current goes.
