Students that do not request a course Re-enrolment or make clear intent of a wish to request said Course Re-enrolment within a 3-month window from Lapsing, will be removed from their course and as a student at Sussex Business School.

Students that are struggling to meet Study/Course demands or find theirselves overwhelmed due to personal/professional circumstances that are impacting their studies can request to ‘Park’ their course.

A course Park acts as a pause button, allowing for the course to be put on hold for up to 6 months.

The Course Park is subject to a – £100 Fee. Buy course park.

Upon actioning a Course Park, the date of the park commences from the initial confirmation and approval by the student, as per the Course Park procedure outlined by email when requested by the student.

The student can choose to resume their course at any point within the 6 months but must make Sussex Business School is aware of their intended resume date within the 6-month Park window.

Any parked students that overgo the Park duration of 6 months are classed as lapsed and will be subject to course Re-enrolment (See Course Re-enrolment).

• Sussex Business school does provide lenience based upon the final date of the Park Period being on Holidays, out of Working Hours, and considering personal situations that may affect the student’s ability to notify Sussex Business School of intended course resume.

Students that find they have enrolled onto a Course that is too high a level, or a Module/Unit taken from a specific Framework that they have decided is not right for them, are eligible to either Transfer course or Unit.

For those looking to transfer Course, Sussex Business School can downgrade students within the same Framework, but not transfer/downgrade students across different Frameworks. Transferring/Downgrading Course may be subject to a second Registration fee which is down to the discretion of the Awarding body.

NOTE: Course Transfers are only eligible for students that are not classed as Lapsed (Please refer to Lapsed status under Course Extensions).

For those looking to transfer Unit, Sussex Business School can amend student Unit/Modules choices if the student has not entered the Unit Timeframe/Submission window (there is some exception with this in relation to Unit start date, and students notifying the Support team or their intent to change Unit).

NOTE: Unit Transfers are only eligible for students that are not classed as Lapsed (Please refer to Lapsed status under Course Extensions).

Students that fail a final assignment submission are able to re-submit via the CMI Direct Marking procedure at their own discretion. This process entails sending your unit/assignment/work to the CMI/Regulator directly for external marking.

The CMI Direct Marking process is subject to a – £90 fee. Buy CMI Direct Marking.

NOTE: This is not included within your course fee, and as a result will be subject to a cost that covers both CMI Direct Marking Fees, and administration costs.
