proposal type: Competent authority response
response: 'Response from the Ministry of Education, Science and Sport

  Article 69 of the Higher Education Act (other rights and benefits of students) stipulates
  that students, regardless of whether they are studying full-time or part-time, have
  the right to health care and other benefits and rights (e.g. food, transport, scholarships)
  in accordance with specific regulations, provided that they are not in employment
  or registered as jobseekers. However, in Article 70 (termination of student status),
  the Act provides, inter alia, that student status shall cease if the student graduates.

  The new draft Higher Education Act (ZViS-1), available on the website of the Ministry
  of Education, Science and Sport, provides for a new regulation of the acquisition
  and termination of student status. Under this regulation, student status is acquired
  upon enrolment in full-time or part-time studies and is linked to the duration of
  the academic year or semester, whereby a student who graduates or completes a bachelor''s
  or post-graduate course of study is entitled to student status until the end of
  the academic year in which he or she graduates or completes the post-graduate course
  of study.

  As the new Higher Education Act (ZViS-1) is currently being drafted, the proposal
  or initiative will be forwarded to the drafters of the Act. We thank you for sending
  this proposal.'
