The University reserves the right to change, at any time and without prior notice, any provision or requirement, including, but not limited to, policies, procedures, charges, financial aid programs, refund policies and academic programs. In addition, the University reserves the right to change the time, location, and modality of courses, or alter course requirements and campus offerings due to circumstances beyond the university’s control that may affect the health or safety of students or affect the educational function of the institution. Such circumstances include, without limitation, power failure, fire, strikes by University employees or others, damage by natural elements, epidemics, and acts of public authorities. The University will, however, exert reasonable efforts, when it judges them to be appropriate, to provide comparable services, facilities, or performance; but its inability or failure to do so shall not subject the University to liability.
