The BPP UC Pass Assurance Scheme and places on Discounted Courses at BPP Study Centres are subject to availability.

Any such withdrawal shall not affect students who have purchased and are participating in an Applicable Course at the date of such withdrawal. Such students shall continue to be eligible for the BPP UC Pass Assurance Scheme in relation to the Applicable Course which they are undertaking. Qualifying Students may not transfer or assign the Discounted Course(s) for which they are eligible under the BPP UC Pass Assurance Scheme to any other person. In no circumstances shall BPP either: (i) refund your Course Fees nor (ii) provide a cash alternative to the BPP UC Pass Assurance Scheme, in the event that any Discounted Courses are unavailable pursuant to Clause 17.5. If you have breached, or, are in breach of any of the these Terms you will not be eligible for the BPP UC Pass Assurance Scheme.
