If you are unable to engage in your studies due to a short-term absence such as sickness or for other reasons that are less than 7 consecutive days, then it is not necessary to inform the PG Law Student Support and Engagement team or the class academic/teaching assistant. Please ensure you make the necessary arrangements to catch up with any teaching activities you may have missed.   

If your short-term absence continues more than 7 days, you should notify the PG Law Student Support & Engagement Team via email pglaw-support@qmul.ac.uk. 

Students can request up to 14 consecutive days of leave during term-time (including weekends).  

In exceptional cases, it may be possible to request more than 14 consecutive days of leave during term-time (including weekends), however, students will need to complete the Authorised Absence Request Form and provide evidence. Please note that a period of continued absence for more than two consecutive weeks will not normally be permitted; however, this should be for unavoidable reasons only.   

In both cases above, you MUST inform the PG Law Student Support & Engagement Team at least 7 working days in prior to your leaving date by emailing to pglaw-support@qmul.ac.uk.  

This will be noted as ‘Authorised Absence’ and we will provide a letter confirming this for you.
