The University reserves the right to limit access to courses or programmes, and, at its discretion, to withdraw particular programmes, options, or courses altogether.

In such circumstances the University undertakes to the best of its ability to enable students registered in affected programmes to complete their degree requirements in a satisfactory manner.
