Student attendance

The University wants you to achieve the qualification for which you have registered. In order for you to be successful it is important that you engage fully with your course. This includes:

  • attending all formal teaching sessions
  • completing directed, group-based and independent study activities outside scheduled teaching
  • undertaking all assessments.

The University will monitor your attendance in a way that is appropriate for your course and your mode of study. We will also offer you support if you are facing difficulties that may hinder your academic progression. On some courses specific attendance requirements will be in place and you will be informed of these at the beginning and throughout your studies. International students’ attendance will be monitored in line with the UK Borders Agency (UKBA) requirements.

Where it is clear that you are not attending your studies or engaging with your course, we will make arrangements to withdraw you from the course and from the University.
