Intellectual Property Specialist Student Handbook 2026/27

Queen Mary monitors student engagement both online and in person to ensure academic progress and identify students who may need support.

Online Engagement

Your activity on QMPlus—such as accessing module pages and submitting assignments—helps demonstrate your engagement with your studies.

---

Lecture Attendance Monitoring

To monitor attendance effectively, students must:

• Enter the attendance code provided during each lecture into the QMUL app using the ‘Record Attendance’ tile.
• The code is a six-digit format: XX-XX-XX.

Do not share attendance codes. Doing so may prevent the School from identifying students who need support or are at risk.

---

Minimum Engagement Threshold

Students are expected to meet the minimum attendance and engagement thresholds as set out in this plan. Failure to meet the minimum attendance and engagement threshold(s) within the determined checkpoints will normally result in the initiation of the non-engagement process, which can lead to de-registration from studies.

• At least 30% attendance at [lectures];
• At least 70% submission of assessments PLUS;
• Logging into QMPlus within 14 days

---

Attendance Checkpoints

Attendance is reviewed at four key points during each 10-week teaching block:

• End of Week 3
• End of Week 5
• End of Week 8
• End of Week 10

If You Cannot Record Your Attendance

If the app doesn’t work, try the following:

1. Use the web version: QMUL App Web Access
2. Log out and back in on the app or web version to refresh settings
3. If issues persist, ask your module convenor/lecturer to manually record your attendance
   • Manual entry is only possible for classes held within the last 4 weeks
