This study mainly examined the effects of banned programs to the sustainability of university communities in Tanzania. The study was conducted in two private universities due to availability of data. The universities involved in the sudy were Jordan University College and St. John’s University of Tanzania. The specific objectives included, to explore the reasons for the financial condition of the universitiies of study which occurred in 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 academic years, to examine the effects of admission ban to the university communities. The study was guided by public and private theories of regulation. The researcher adopted descriptive research design which combined quantitative and qualitative research approaches. The sample size of 108 respondents was used. Purposive, convenient and simple random sampling techniques were used to get respondents and participants for this study. Instruments for data collection were questionnaire and interview guides. The findings revealed that private universities under this study experienced economic drop in the 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 as a result of the universities’ regulator’s admission ban of students to some programmes. The study recommends the universities’ regulator to allow the higher learning institutions to admit students in all programs with control strategies to ensure quality education is offered rather than forbidding them to admit new students.
