Course Cancellation Policy

The College of Accountancy and Management Studies (CAMS) will ensure that course cancellations do not happen (historically CAMS have never cancelled a course as we always do proper course planning so that there will be sufficient numbers and the cancellation of courses at short notice will not happen).

On the unlikely occasion of a course being cancelled due to low numbers, we will ensure that this does not hinder the students’ timely progression to the completion of the programme. Please find below the salient points of the policy:

• We will examine the CAMS admission history and anticipate courses likely to be affected by low numbers. When we identify that there is a potential for low enrolment numbers, we will accommodate the students who might register for those potential low-enrolment courses in acceptable alternative courses. We will take into consideration the days and times that the alternative courses are offered, so the affected students will not have difficulty switching on short notice to alternative courses scheduled at very different times than the cancelled course.
• In the event of a course being cancelled, the student will be notified as soon as the change is made; normally a minimum of two weeks’ notice is given. The student can then either apply the fees to another course, or receive a refund or credit note for the course fees paid. If a course is rescheduled, the student will be notified as soon as the change is made.
• We will use a reasonable time frame (no less than two weeks before the first day of classes) to determine when to cancel a class.
• We will notify affected students and the faculty as soon as the action is taken.We will work with the affected students to ensure that they find acceptable alternatives or we will refund the fees.
• If the cancelled course or subjects are required for completing the programme and the affected students are nearing completion of the programme, we will ensure that the students can be accommodated in the class the following term.
• We will accommodate all students affected by course cancellation, and give special attention to students with disabilities who might have chosen a class on this basis, and the international students who are required by the UKBA to attend specific minimum number of hours.
