Attendance and Absence

Find out about our expectations for your attendance and what to do if you miss classes or other parts of your course.

Attendance

Where possible, you are expected to attend all classes for all your courses. A good level of attendance is a requirement to pass many courses and, even if not, failing to do so can worsen your mark in that course.

Attendance is recorded in many classes and if a student is not engaged with their studies they will be contacted to check that they are well.  

What you need to do 

  • It is your responsibility to ensure that you sign any required attendance sheet.  
  • You must also complete assignments by the deadline given in the course guide (look for this information on Learn) unless you have been granted a coursework extension for that item.
  • It is essential that you read your University email regularly, in case the time or location of any classes needs to be changed at short notice. 
 

If you have any questions about attendance or need support please contact the BTO Student Support Team.
