Visa compliance & Registry will be informed of all student non-attendances as the College is obliged to report the non-attendance of students on Tier 4/Student Route visas to the Home Office.

Please note that:

• attendance at all timetabled events is compulsory and will be monitored.
• students who repeatedly fail to attend will be asked to withdraw from the course.
• all students are expected to arrive on time for events.  We had a number of complaints in the past from both students and staff regarding students arriving late for timetabled events.  This is not acceptable as is disruptive to both the lecturer and students already present.  Students should be in the room before the lecture commences. Persistent late arrivals will be reported to both personal tutors and senior tutors as well as going on your record.
