First Session Guidance
Courses marked with the symbol G
include a first week guidance session.
Your enrolment will not be confirmed until
you have attended this session. If, after
discussion with your tutor, you decide that
the course is not suitable, you may cancel
your enrolment on that course or transfer
to a more suitable course (subject to
availability). If you cancel your enrolment
you will be entitled to receive a full refund,
provided we receive your notice of
cancellation within 7 working days of the
first week guidance session and you do
not attend any further sessions of that
course.
Transfers
A transfer to another course is only
possible if requested within two weeks
from the course starting; providing you
meet the new course entry requirements,
there are spaces available and the new
tutor agrees. Transfers are only possible
to a course in the same academic year.
There will be an administration fee of £10
per transfer requested by a student. You
cannot transfer your place to anyone else.
