Course, campus or university closures

A guide to help higher education students understand their rights and options in the event of a course, campus, university or college closure.

Universities and colleges may need to make changes to their services during your studies. These could be for a number of reasons, such as financial issues, low student numbers, staff availability, concerns about course quality or changes in business priorities.

Sometimes these changes could result in course or campus closures.

In rare cases, they may decide to close the university or college entirely and stop offering higher education.

We know that changes like these can be worrying for students. We have put this guide together to help you to understand your rights and options, as well as our role in protecting students’ interests.
