or change the program curriculum as necessary to meet current competencies in the job
market or for budgetary reasons, or withdraw an offer of admission both prior to and after
its acceptance by an applicant or student because of insufficient applications or
registration, over-acceptance of offers of admission, budgetary constraints, or
for other such reasons. In the event the College exercises such a right, the College's
sole liability will be the return of monies paid by the applicant or student to the
College.
