3.6.1 When the Academic Board approves the phasing out and discontinuation of a course or approves a revision of an existing course structure, it must ensure that the approved course documentation:

(1) states the reasons necessitating such a change;

(2) in the case of a revision of a course structure:

(a) specifies the revised course structure; and

(b) states whether students shall be given the option to complete the existing version of the course or shall be obliged to transfer to the revised version of the course; and

(c) in the case where students are given the option to complete the existing version of the course specifies the time period in which students must complete the course in accordance with the existing course structure

(3) in the case of the phasing out and discontinuation of a course specifies the period for which students enrolled in the course will be able to continue their studies in accordance with the existing course structure.

3.6.2 If a student is required to undertake a revised version of a course, the relevant Responsible Academic Officer, in consultation with the student, must provide a transitional or revised program to be completed by the student which will satisfy the requirements of the revised version of the course. Details of this program must be provided to the Registrar who shall ensure that it is recorded and used as the basis for determining the student's academic progress and completion of course requirements.

3.6.3 If a student who is enrolled in a course that has been approved for discontinuation does not complete the course within the approved phasing out period, the relevant Responsible Academic Officer will provide advice to the student on alternative arrangements that the student may wish to pursue at the University or elsewhere.
