Students’ responsibilities
You are expected to:
•
Attend 100% of all scheduled classes relating to your programme of
study as confirmed on your Learning
•
Agreement
Report any absence due to illness or other reason to the College by
8:45am on the first and every subsequent day of absence (by phone, email only)
•
Do everything possible to avoid necessary absences by making medical
appointments outside class time unless it is an emergency
•
Try to avoid going on holiday during term time
•
Arrange appointments i.e. job interviews etc. outside of lesson time
•
Tell us in advance if you know you are going to miss a lesson
•
Catch up with any work you have missed due to absence.
What if your attendance is poor?
To make the most of your course (and to remain eligible for the free exam re-sit
service), it’s important to keep your attendance at a satisfactory level of over
eighty five percent. If attendance becomes an issue, we’ll be in touch to discuss
how we can support you.
If you are being supported by your employer through your programme, we may
also contact them with absence reports.
If you have worries or personal problems that are affecting your attendance,
please discuss these with teaching staff or your personal tutor.
Poor attendance may be dealt with as part of the College9s disciplinary
proce-dure and may result in a final written warning or expulsion.
