Business Closure and Teach-Out Policy 

Overview 

In the unlikely event that UAB L-CON Global must close, discontinue a program, or become unable to deliver the education services promised to currently enrolled students, we will make reasonable good-faith efforts to support affected students. 

When possible, we will notify students in writing, explain the closure timeline, identify remaining program requirements, and provide available options for completion. These options may include completing the program with us during a limited teach-out period, transferring to another qualified provider, working with substitute faculty, receiving continued access to learning materials, or receiving a prorated refund for paid services that were not delivered. 

Students who complete all requirements through an approved teach-out process will receive the appropriate completion documentation. Students who are unable to complete before closure may request records showing completed hours, courses, mentor coaching, supervision, assignments, or assessments. 

Students are responsible for responding promptly to teach-out communications and completing remaining requirements by any stated deadlines. 

This policy does not guarantee that every student will be able to complete their education through UAB L-CON Global but we will act in good faith to minimize disruption and support currently enrolled students whenever reasonably possible. 

Business Closure 

Business closure may result from circumstances including, but not limited to: 

  • Voluntary closure of the business 
  • Financial hardship or insolvency 
  • Death, disability, or prolonged incapacity of the primary educator or business owner 
  • Loss of required faculty, staff, or resources 
  • Regulatory, accreditation, or legal changes 
  • Force majeure events, including natural disasters, war, pandemic, or other events beyond the organization’s control

Teach-out support may include one or more of the following:

  • Courses or modules completed 
  • Hours completed 
  • Mentor coaching or supervision hours completed 
  • Assignments or assessments completed 
  • Remaining requirements, if known 

This documentation may assist the student in transferring to another coach education provider or completing credentialing requirements elsewhere. 

Refunds and Financial Considerations 

If UAB L-CON Global is unable to deliver paid education or provide a reasonable teach-out option, students may be eligible for a prorated refund for the portion of the program that was paid for but not delivered.
