4.11.1 Approval for discontinuation of a course
Courses may be discontinued at any time, usually because student numbers are
not viable.
A move to cease student intakes into a course begins the process of course
discontinuation, and requires approval by University Academic Board (see
Appendix
10e
for the University's course discontinuation proposal proforma). Once
University Academic Board has approved discontinuation of the course, the Dean of Studies, Office of Teaching Quality will then advise all stakeholders and modify the
list of Current Courses which is maintained on the Office of Teaching Quality website
and provide an expiry date in the course record in the student information system.
Discontinued courses should normally remain open for the minimum period of
time required for any continuing students to complete in normal progression.
Once all continuing students have completed the course, the course should be
closed by making the course record inactive in the student information system.
In the case where a discontinued course is directly replaced by a new course,
University Academic Board approval for discontinuation is given at the time
of approval of the new course, and the course discontinuation proforma is not
required. The course approval documentation, however, should clearly state transition
arrangements for students in the discontinued course.
