For example, the employment of the staff and the accreditation of the current associate degree programmes after the transferral from CCCU to UOW. It was said that within the first 5 years of the transitional period, all the employment terms and conditions will be remained the same, all the current programmes will be continued in both the Main Campus and Telford Annex and students can continue to enjoy the facilities provided by CityU.[5]
