This page provides guidance on the circumstances and communication of information where significant changes have been made to a course prior to registration.
2.0 Key Principles
2.1 Overview
Includes: communications responsibility; types of changes
All communications with applicants regarding significant changes to a course must be undertaken by the appropriate Admissions Office/Faculty Office/School Office. These changes might include:
- Closure
- Suspension
- Withdrawal or granting of professional accreditation
- Significant changes to programme content
- Changes in costs
2.2 Accepted and unaccepted offers
2.2.1 Accepted offers
Applicants who have accepted offers must not be contacted until a closure/suspension recommendation has been accepted by Quality and Standards Committee (QSC). These applicants must then be informed of their options in regard to transferring their application to another course within the University or to another institution.
2.2.2 Unaccepted offers
Applicants who have been made offers, but have not yet accepted them, may however be contacted at an earlier stage to be informed that a closure/suspension recommendation has been made. Such applicants must be told that the offer of a place is suspended until a decision has been made and will be withdrawn if the recommendation is accepted.
Where relevant, UCAS must be notified by informing the University UCAS correspondent when the closure/suspension recommendation has been accepted by QSC.
