   • Standards: We aim to conform to level AA of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0.
   • Reviews: Our Online Campus is periodically reviewed by an accessibility expert who uses a range of different assistive technologies and computer settings to test the Online Campus for conformance with the above standards of accessibility, and we are committed to diligently and timely resolving all areas of non-conformance.
   • Exceptions: While we strive to ensure that our Online Campus conforms to level AA of the WCAG 2.0, there may be limited exceptions where the Online Campus is not fully up to level AA standard. We are continually seeking out solutions that will bring all areas of the Website and Online Campus up to the same level of overall accessibility, while ensuring that the overall student experience is not unduly compromised.
   • Accessibility requests: If you experience any difficulty in accessing any aspect of the Website or Online Campus or would like further insight into our Accessibility Policy and accessibility accommodations, please don’t hesitate to contact your Student Success Team.

Course requirements

1. Registration online: Students can register for Courses online through the links available on our website.
2. Basic requirements: In order to complete a Course, you will need a current email account and access to a computer and the internet. You should be familiar with using a computer and accessing the internet, as you may need to be able to read documents in Adobe PDF Reader, view Microsoft PowerPoint presentations, and read and create documents in Microsoft Word. In addition, you will need to install Adobe Flash Player to view the video lectures, resources and activities available in each Course module. Both Adobe applications are available for download:

1. Browser requirements: We recommend that you use Google Chrome as your internet browser when accessing the Online Campus. Although this is not a requirement, we have found that this browser performs best for ease of access to Course material. This browser can be downloaded from the following website: https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/
2. Additional requirements: Certain Courses may require additional software and resources. These additional software and resource requirements will be communicated to students upon registration and/or at the beginning of the Course. Please note that Google, Vimeo and YouTube may be used in our Course delivery, and if these services are blocked in your jurisdiction, you may have difficulty in accessing Course content – we strongly recommend that you check with us before registering for a Course if you have any concerns about this affecting your experience with the Online Campus.
3. Identification: During the Course presentation, you may be required to verify your identity with an official identity document, which reflects the name provided upon registration, for authentication and record purposes. Acceptable forms of identification include an identity document (national ID card), passport, government- or state-issued driver’s license (US and UK only), state or province ID card, or birth certificate. MIU may make use of a third-party identity verification service. Non-submission of valid identification in accordance with standard verification processes may result in your certificate being withheld upon completing a Course successfully. If you undergo a name change during the presentation of a Course, you will be required to communicate this to your Success Manager, who will advise you on the process to be followed. The name provided by you in the document that you have submitted will be the one that appears on any certificate that may be issued to you on successful completion of a Course.
4. Disclaimer: You are obliged to source and obtain access to the necessary software and resources required for Course completion at your own cost, and we won’t be held liable for any consequences of the use of such software or resources. We do not sponsor or endorse, nor are we affiliated with, the entities responsible for software and resources unless expressly stated otherwise – these are simply programs chosen for their global use patterns and effectiveness for the Course outcomes. We may change the Course requirements for a particular Course at any time by advising you through the Online Campus or by email to your chosen email address.
5. University Records: The University collaborating on your Course shall have discretion to request that we deny your registration for that Course, remove you from that Course, or suspend your activity on that Course, on the basis of written reasons related to outstanding fees owing to the University, misconduct or other lawful impediment.

Course delivery

1. Language: English is the language of instruction and administration for all MIU Courses. All coursework that is required for assessment purposes must be written in English. This includes posts made on the discussion forum.
2. Online Campus: Each Course consists of a number of modules delivered over a specified period through the Online Campus, accessible using the “Online Campus” website link provided with your registration. All Course-related documentation is provided in electronic format and can be accessed through the Online Campus.
3. Communications: You may receive communication by telephone, email or text message from MIU representatives for Course administration and related purposes, including reminders of assignments and payments due by you, or other information related to your registration or these Terms. You agree and consent to receipt of such communications (although you may opt-out of any generic marketing communications that are unrelated to Course administration, at any time, through the supplied opt-out mechanism).
4. Access to Online Campus: Upon your final enrolment for a Course, a profile will be set up for you in the Online Campus (or, if you already have a profile, you will use your existing profile for the new Course). If you are suspended from participation in a Course (for non-payment of fees or any other valid reason), we may suspend access to your profile on the Online Campus. Please note that there may be some time delay between registration and enrolment. Access to a Course presentation and Online Campus may be limited to 30 days from the closure date.
5. Permitted use: Only students who are registered for a Course may participate in that Course. You may not divulge your username or password to any other person, may not permit any other person to participate in the Course on your behalf, and may not impersonate any other person in dealing with MIU or access the Online Campus using another user’s username and password. If you forget your username or password, we will only take steps that we regard as being secure to ensure that you regain access to your profile.
6. Prohibited use: You are prohibited from doing the following:
   • Making available copies of the Course content on a network server or web server for use by others.
   • Using, displaying or otherwise making available the Course content, or any other materials, in an electronic format that enables it to be downloaded or distributed to any third party via mobile devices or shared in any peer-to-peer or similar file sharing arrangement, or by any other means.
   • Sublicensing, reselling, renting, lending, assigning, ceding, donating or otherwise transferring or distributing the Course content or the rights granted under these Terms.
   • Reverse engineering, decompiling, or disassembling any software that is contained within Course content or on the Online Campus.
   • Removing any notice of copyright, trademark or other proprietary right from any place where it is on or embedded in the Course content (an example of this would be to edit the IPTC data).
7. Your responsibility: You agree that you will contact us immediately if you experience any unauthorised use of your profile details. You accept that you are responsible for the consequences of your use of your profile in the Online Campus, and for maintaining it and all information on it. We do take security seriously, but as the user, you accept all risks of any unauthorised access that could occur regarding your information.
8. Access disputes: If there is a dispute as to who has the right to operate a profile in the Online Campus, we may deny access to the profile pending the outcome of the dispute to our satisfaction, and/or transfer the profile to the party claiming a right to it if we are satisfied that the profile was registered on behalf of that party.
9. Platform capability: The Online Campus may not be fully compatible with mobile devices, including smartphones and tablets. In order to access and participate effectively in the Online Campus, you may require access to a desktop computer or a laptop computer. You will be required to meet the cost of internet access yourself and of any upgrades required to your computer or mobile device.
10. External websites: MIU is not responsible for technical support for any external websites. Courses that require you to use external websites do so to achieve the best learning outcomes. If you have any queries relating to external websites, you are required to contact the support services of the relevant websites directly (although you may request assistance from your Student Success Team through the Online Campus). MIU will not be liable for any costs, claims or damages that you may suffer as a result of your use of, or failure to access, any external website.
11. Videos: Videos are provided in the majority of Course modules. These videos act as tutorials and lectures for the topics covered in the specific modules and are compulsory unless otherwise stipulated. You will need Adobe Flash Player installed to view the video lectures available in each module. If you are using a slower internet connection, then attempting to view these videos may be difficult.

Course assessment

1. General: All courses are based on continuous assessment and there are no examinations, unless stipulated otherwise for a specific Course.

1. Holidays and work trips: Allowances for late submission of assignments may not be made if you are away on holiday or on a work trip. The Course dates are clearly provided in the information pack or documentation that is available to you before a Course commences, and it is your responsibility to ensure that you are able to complete the Course by submitting assignments on time.
2. Assignment rewrites: Rewrites of assignments are not permitted. Courses are based on continuous assessment and because contextual feedback is provided after each assignment, rewrites provide an unfair advantage.
3. Assignment re-marks: For graded Courses you may request, in writing, a re-mark of an assignment at any stage of the Course. However, no re-marks will be considered after the final results have been released. Please note that re-marks may result in an increase, decrease or no change to your mark. The cost of an assignment re-mark is available on request. A re-mark must be requested in writing to your Success Manager, and the re-mark fee paid, before final results have been released for the Course.
4. Final results: Your final result or completion status may be subject to a moderation process. If you have outstanding fees or amounts owing, your final result will be withheld until such time as your fees have been settled in full. If you are dissatisfied with your academic standing (final result for the Course) you are within your rights to submit an appeal within 7 working days after the final results have been made available by contacting your Success Manager, who will explain the appeals process to you.

Student conduct

1. General rules: All students are required to adhere to an Honour Code which must be accepted in the Orientation Module for each course. A breach of the Honour Code will constitute a breach of this Agreement.
2. Handbooks: Handbooks, rules and other materials may be made available through the Online Campus, speaking to matters such as academic integrity and conduct, and you will be obliged to abide by the terms of such additional materials.
3. Offensive content: The discussion forums on our Online Campus serve as a platform for academic collaboration and enrich the learning experience through dynamic engagement and healthy debate. MIU retains the right to monitor and remove posts on the discussion forums (or any information otherwise disseminated through the Website or Online Campus) to ensure that the environment remains constructive and that the integrity of interaction is maintained. To the extent that any person is harmed by your comments, MIU shall not be held responsible for your behaviour and you hereby release MIU from and indemnify MIU against any such liability. You agree to abide by the provisions of the Terms of Use on our Website in relation to acceptable use policies, especially in relation to offensive conduct. In addition, you undertake not to use MIU services to promote any business or enterprise, unless permitted to do so by a representative of MIU, or unless this forms part of a Course requirement.
4. Plagiarism: Plagiarism can be defined as the intentional or unintentional use of another’s work without providing reasonable and appropriate credit to the author or source of the work. MIU provides support and information in the Online Campus on how to avoid plagiarism and guidelines on adherence to academic conduct, however, you must take responsibility for your own academic work.
5. Consequences of Plagiarism: Plagiarism in assignment submissions is treated extremely seriously. If you are found guilty of plagiarism you may receive zero for the relevant assignment submission, and as a result may not have a certificate issued to you.

Pricing, payment and delivery

1. Course fees: When you register for a Course, you agree to pay the applicable Course fee and such other amounts as may be due by you arising from your participation in the Course.
2. Bank charges: In the event that bank charges and/or fees are levied on or added to a payment made by you to us from any country or jurisdiction, you shall be liable for all such bank charges and additional costs.
3. Payment reference: When making payment to us, you must ensure that your invoice number (to which the payment relates) is reflected on your payment. We will not be held liable if we are unable to locate your payment, and as a result you are suspended from participation in a Course.
4. Reminders: You hereby acknowledge and consent to us contacting you in relation to payments due by you for a Course or in terms of these Terms, by way of email, text message, telephone calls, or other means as determined by us.
5. Dispute: If there is a dispute between us relating to the payment of any Course fee, or the way in which you use the Online Campus or the Website, we may at our sole discretion suspend your participation in the Course for the period of the dispute.

Cancellations and Deferrals

1. Outstanding fees: If you do not settle your fees in accordance with the agreed payment terms, you will not receive your final result for your Course, and we will not issue any letters confirming attendance or completion of Course modules. You will not be issued with a certificate until all fees have been paid in full.
2. Cancellation of registration: If you wish to cancel your Course registration, you will need to contact your Success Manager to discuss your intention. Your Success Manager will consult with you to discuss the matter and to assist you in reaching an informed decision. Should you decide to go ahead with the cancellation, you will be required to complete and submit a cancellation of registration form, which will be provided to you by your Success Manager. You will be entitled to a full refund of your Course fee if you request cancellation of registration with your Success Manager before the release of Module 2 of your Course. After the release of Module 2, no refunds will be processed for cancellation of course registration.
3. Course deferral: If you wish to defer your Course to the next scheduled presentation of that Course, you will need to contact your Success Manager to discuss this intention. Your Success Manager will consult with you to discuss the matter and to assist you in reaching an informed decision. Should you decide to go ahead with the deferral, you will be required to complete and submit a deferral application form (which will be provided to you by your Success Manager). Deferral of Course registration will only be processed once (no repeat deferrals will be permitted), only to the next scheduled presentation of the applicable Course, and all applications for course deferral must be made before the release of Module 2 of your Course. We do not guarantee that future presentations will be held and if you choose to defer to the next presentation, you do so at your own risk. Assignments that have been completed up until the date of the deferral will not be credited to you upon re-registration.
4. Insufficient demand: We reserve the right to cancel a Course if there is insufficient demand, as determined by us in our sole and absolute discretion. In this case, you will receive a full refund, but no interest will accrue on any amounts refunded to you and any applicable bank charges will be offset against the refunded amount.

Complaints and dispute resolution

1. General complaints policy: Whether it is positive or negative, MIU encourages feedback from students. Where this feedback is a complaint about our Course, product or service offering, or our conduct, we are committed to addressing the complaint in a timely and appropriate manner. All complaints are taken seriously, and every effort has been made to ensure that MIU can cater for complaints received on all levels, regardless of severity. MIU will seek to address a complaint in a mutually beneficial and satisfactory manner, whenever reasonably possible.
2. Speak up: Should you wish to lodge a complaint; you are required to submit this through the “Speak Up” service on the contact page of our Website. We will strive to ensure that anyone giving feedback is treated with the utmost courtesy and respect, and in return, we expect that anyone giving feedback or making a complaint will do so in a fair and appropriate manner. Where we determine that a complaint is abusive, unreasonable, or a student is unreasonably pursuing a complaint that has previously been investigated, we reserve our rights in relation to our response, and in particular, may elect not to pursue the procedure set out below.
3. Review and investigation: Once a complaint has been lodged, we will investigate and attempt to address the matter in question. At this stage, you may be required to provide supporting documentation or other evidence that may be relevant. We will endeavour to address complaints within 3 working days (although this may not always be possible). In all cases, we will maintain open channels of communication and provide feedback or updates on the progress of the investigation. If a complaint cannot be addressed at its first stage, either party may request that the matter be looked into further. Escalations of this nature may be referred to the University collaborating on your Course who may investigate the matter further and may recommend an outcome or course of action.
4. Feedback: Once a complaint has been fully investigated and due process followed, a course of action will be determined by MIU. The result will either be that the complaint is upheld (in part or in full), and an appropriate form of action is taken, or, that no action is taken, in which case comprehensive feedback and reasons will be provided. This includes, but is not limited to, instances where you have not requested an outcome other than having a platform to voice your concerns.
5. Disputes: If a mutually-satisfactory outcome, course of action, or conclusion cannot be reached following from the complaints procedure, or any other kind of dispute arises between MIU and you, then you agree that it will be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action, and, to the extent compliant with applicable law, exclusively by a court of competent jurisdiction located in England, United Kingdom. As a consumer you may benefit from the right to bring an action in the courts of the country in which you are resident.
