Attendance
This page explains what the expectations are around attendance in your studies.
Attendance
You are expected to attend all your classes to the best of your ability. We collect attendance to check that you are engaging fully with your studies in order to provide support promptly in case of any problems. Additionally, if you are an international student on a sponsored visa, UKVI require us to monitor your attendance regularly. More details on attendance for international students can be found on the international students' page.
International students rights and responsibilities
In classes, you will use your own wifi-enabled device (phone, tablet or laptop) to register your attendance. You will be guided on how to do this using a platform called WooClap.
Absence
If you will be absent for less than a week there is no need to inform the School unless you are going to miss a deadline, in which case contact the couse administrator. You can find out who this is from the Course Contacts section on your course Learn page, or on the DPRS entry for the course. If you require an extension for a deadline, please check your course Learn page to see if extensions are permitted. More information on how to apply for an extension can be found on the Extensions and Special Circumstances page.
Extensions and Special Circumstances Service
If you will be absent for more than a week from lectures for medical, personal, or other reasons, then contact your Student Adviser and you can to discuss if you should apply for Special Circumstances.
