Useful Information
Who can join?Anyone! Our courses are open to any adult with an interest in or curiosity about the subject. No previous qualifications are required for most of our courses. We aim to offer courses that are interesting, to encourage people who may not normally think of attending a university to try something new and to make courses easily accessible for people with work or family commitments. How do I join?Send in the completed application form (printed in this prospectus) with your fee by Friday 11 September OR Friday 4 December for January start dates.You may also enrol over the phone, using your credit card, or pay when you attend. Courses requiring prior enrolment before the first meeting are marked with a closing date. All students will be required to complete a registration form and will be allocated a student number to be quoted when contacting the centre. Accredited CoursesStudents are expected to attempt course work where set. Course credits will be awarded to students who successfully complete work submitted for assessment. Credits can provide opportunity for students to study for University awards. For more information see Studying for Credits. Library FacilitiesAll students enrolled on accredited courses will be entitled to borrow books from the Keele Library until the end of their course only. Authorisation of borrowing rights will be issued to students on receipt of enrolment details from the tutor. Joint CoursesCourses marked with an asterisk (*) are run jointly with the Workers’ Educational Association, which also advertises them. Admission to CoursesWe operate a policy of open entry to our courses. However, we reserve the right not to grant admission to courses in cases where we believe the success of the course or the well-being of the class may be affected. A student handbook is available. Provision of CoursesThe provision of courses is subject to the enrolment of sufficient numbers of students and the maintenance of satisfactory conditions for the running of the course. Changes to Courses AdvertisedWe reserve the right to replace the advertised tutors or change the programme where it is found to be unavoidable or to make other changes that may be deemed necessary due to unforeseen circumstances. SmokingSmoking is not allowed in our courses. Complaints ProcedureTo make a formal complaint about any aspect of our provision, please do so in writing to: Dr Marian Whittaker, Head of Continuing and Professional Education, Keele University, Keele, Staffs, ST5 5BG. Sending for Further InformationA number of entries encourage you to send for further details, perhaps because there may be too much information to include in the prospectus or because we have not yet finalised all the arrangements. Do not be surprised if you do not hear from us immediately - as soon as we have all the information we will mail it to you. Data Protection Act 1998The names of people enquiring about or enrolled on our courses are held on a computerised mailing list which will be used to send information about future courses. If you wish to be taken off this list, please let us know. Car Parking on Keele University CampusThe arrangement for parking on campus is as follows: Pay and display machines are now available for the use of all visitors during daytime hours, or students may purchase an annual permit from 24-hour reception in the Darwin Building. Students and part-time tutors are advised that to avoid the probability of clamping, tickets should be purchased on weekdays, until 5.30pm. Evenings and weekends are free. |
