Attendance

You should attend all scheduled teaching sessions that we set for you, either in person or online, and use the student Check-In system. Regular attendance is vital to succeed in your degree programme and will help you become a well-rounded learner capable of achieving your full academic potential. If you cannot attend a theory session, you must inform the module leader before the session.

University Regulations state that you should be present at any time at which teaching or other academic engagements have been arranged for your programme (including Saturdays). This includes teaching that is not compulsory.

All face-to-face taught sessions have registers of attendance. These records are held by the Student Services Team, in the Department of Health Sciences.

Absence

If you are ill during teaching weeks, please notify the University via your e:Vision account (in the "Your Support" section). You can self-certify for a maximum of ten days in any one academic year, with a maximum of seven days for any one period of illness

An absence of over seven days, but no longer than four weeks, can be approved by the Chair  Board of Studies or Postgraduate Teaching Committee. Any longer absence requires the approval of University Special Cases. See the information on taking a Leave of Absence.
