Common use of Changes to Courses Clause in Contracts

Changes to Courses. 9.6.1. If we reasonably consider it to be necessary, we may make reasonable changes to the content, syllabus, mode of delivery and/or timetable of courses set out in the prospectus and course summary document which: a) are not material to the overall learning outcomes of the course (for example, moving the timing of a particular module or project within the year, or a change in the staff delivering the module or project); b) will benefit your or other students’ training (for example, enabling you or other students to benefit from additional classes with visiting professionals); c) are caused by matters outside our control (as set out in condition 9.9); and/or d) are in order to comply with changes in the law and/or the instructions of our regulators (such as the Office for Students), a validating university, and/or professional body. 9.6.2. We may discontinue, suspend and/or not provide courses if there are insufficient numbers of student enrolments to make a course viable and/or for any reason outside our control (as set out in condition 9.9). 9.6.3. Where changes are to be made to courses which are not significant, we will, following suitable consultation with affected students, take all reasonable steps to notify you at the earliest opportunity and to minimise any disruption to your studies (if you are affected by the change). 9.6.4. If we sponsor you under a student visa and course changes may have an impact on your sponsorship, we will provide you with further information. If you then wish to change your course, you should speak to us before taking any action. 9.6.5. We are committed to providing appropriately qualified staff to teach our programmes, but we cannot commit to ensuring that any individual will teach on any given programme. Where these members of staff leave RADA, take leave or are otherwise become unavailable to teach then they will be replaced by either existing or new staff appointed by us.
