before the start date of your course, you may miss part or the whole
of your class on your first day.

class (at the same level) at another time on the same day the class
is cancelled; or

extra day for each class that has been cancelled
(iii) Course freezing

for your late arrival, we may terminate your enrolment with no
refund of your fees.
