Attendance

You are expected to attend all timetabled sessions associated with the modules you are registered for. It's your responsibility to make sure that your attendance at each session is recorded. Your attendance is shared with your Academic Tutor.

iSheffield

iSheffield is the University's mobile app for Sheffield staff and students. The app contains a variety of features, including an attendance monitoring system. Please check in via the iSheffield app to log your attendance during each taught session for which the member of staff leading the session shares a 6-letter code. If a 6-letter code is not shared, please request this from your lecturer before the end of the lecture.

More information on Digital Check-in can be found on the Information for Students Digital Check-in Google site. This page includes step-by-step directions for how to log your attendance on the iSheffield app.

You can download the iSheffield app or learn how to use it via a web browser on the University's iSheffield webpage.

Absence

If you have missed a timetabled session, please follow these steps to report your absence:

• Log your  absence on iSheffield as soon as you can.

• Email PGT Student Support on psypgt@sheffield.ac.uk, copying in the relevant MO(s) as soon as possible.

• Include the title of the module(s), along with the date and time of each session you've missed.

• Include the reason for your absence, e.g. illness.

If you know you're going to miss a taught session in advance, for example for a medical appointment, please still follow the process above. 

Logging your absence on iSheffield alone is not sufficient. Persistent, unexplained, absence could lead to being 'deemed withdrawn' by the University. 

For longer term absences, please speak to your Academic Tutor and see the advice on "Attendance" under the "Your undergraduate or postgraduate taught course" section of the School of Psychology Handbook.

Students with a Learning Support Plan (LSP) or Disability

Further information on attendance can be found specifically for students with disabilities on the University's Attendance matters: a guide for disabled students webpage.
