Student Contract and Research Study at UCLAN

We're waiting for Mr Dukes to read a recent response and update the status.

Dear University of Central Lancashire,

I would like to formally request the following information.

On Student Contract with the University:

1) When are Pre-enrollment and Enrollment contracts formed between the University and a student who has accepted offer of a place?
2) At which of the two contract, Pre-enrollment or Enrollment, stage is the student responsible for paying tuition fees?

On Unilateral suspension of student’s enrollment/registration by the University:

1) If the University offer letter stipulated a deadline date (say, 01/10/2015) by which all new student must enrolled but the University unilaterally took the decision not to complete a new student enrollment until a month (say, 01/11/2015) after the offer letter's enrollment deadline, does the student becomes responsible for tuition fees payment on the 01/10/2015 (when he is a non-enrolled student) or on the 01/11/2015 (when the student becomes fully enrolled)?
2) Will the University allow the non-enrolled student to access University’s services, including research study supervision, in the period between 01/10/2015 and 30/10/2015?

On Student voluntarily suspensions of research study:

1) If a research student has voluntarily suspend studies, what university's services is he entitled, or not entitled, to during the period of study suspension?
2) Which university’s regulation is he subjected to during the period of study suspension?
3) Are tuition fees to be paid in accordance with the University’s fee scheduled during the period of his study suspension?
4) If tuition fees has been paid in advance, and the student resume study after a period of suspension and was able to complete his study within the University’s scheduled date for study completion, would the University refund the fees over the period when the student was on study suspension?

On Research Study supervisions and examiner arrangement:

1) What is the University’s Masters and PhD supervisors’ average timescale for providing feedback to thesis submitted by research students? And does the University has a guideline for supervisors on timescale to response to student communication?
2) If it is established that supervisors delayed response to submitted thesis caused a student to miss the University scheduled submission date and consequently resulted in the student having to pay extra tuition fees for new academic session, what provision/s does the University have in place for research student to seek redress in such situation.
3) Who is responsible for identifying and arranging external examiner for student thesis defense, the University’s research supervisors or the research student? And what role a student may be expected to play in this respect?

Yours faithfully,
Mr Dukes
