If you are ill or have to miss classes for another reason outside your control
If you need to miss classes because of a short illness or other unavoidable reason, you should contact the relevant course secretaries to let them know. For a prolonged illness or other disruption to your studies, you should notify your SA, who can advise you on special circumstances procedures.
Academic issues
If you are having problems with the material in a course you should talk in the first instance to your SA or your Academic Cohort Lead.
