Degree/certificate programs may be cancelled (closed) for a variety of reasons.

During this period of time the program is in teach-out mode.

All eligible students will be notified in writing of the teach-out status of the program, and will; receive an updated copy of their original program plan and course teach-out schedule. Students may remain in the teach-out program as long as they continue in active enrollment - that is, as long as they do not stop out for more than two consecutive terms.

Students enrolled in a cancelled program, who stop out for more than two consecutive terms, a-will be will be required to apply to a new program of study. The University will make every effort to transfer as many earned credits as possible to the new program of study.

An exception is made for returning students who have no more than two (2) courses remaining to earn the original a degree. These students are allowed to complete their original program, however the University reserves the right to substitute courses to help the student finish.

Discontinued Program Plans

When a program plan version is discontinued due to a program update, students will be notified of a teach-out matrix. A matrix is a chart indicating active CityU courses that will be substituted for courses appearing in the discontinued program plan. Students may remain in the teach-out plan of study as long as they continue in active enrollment - that is, as long as they do not stop out for more than two consecutive terms.

Students enrolled in a cancelled plan, who stop out for more than two consecutive terms, a-will be will be required to transfer to a newest plan of study. The University will make every effort to apply as many earned credits as possible to the new plan.

Exceptions to this policy may be made by the Provost.
