Code of Conduct Policy

3. Class attendance policy

In addition to the discipline policy, which all students are expected to adhere to, there are a number of rules about class attendance (both online and face-to-face): 

(1) Attendance at classes is compulsory.

(2) Students must attend their allocated class.

(3) Students must attend the entire session as attendance might be recorded at any time during the session.

(4) Students are responsible for ensuring that they do not arrive late to their class. It is a sign of professionalism to be on time. Arriving late to the lecture theatre or classroom, where late is defined as more than fifteen minutes after the scheduled beginning of the lecture/class, is not permitted. Students arriving more than fifteen minutes late to a lecture/class will not be permitted to enter, although if there is a designated break in a lecture (not a class) students may be permitted to join at this time.

(5) Falsifying attendance records hinders our ability to identify students at-risk of disengagement and constitutes an action of misconduct.
