Absence Affecting Group Project Assessment in Drama

If you are absent from three or more classes, and the module convenor considers that your absence is in danger of compromising the rest of your group in a group project (for example a group performance, group presentation, group workshop), the module convenor reserves the right to withdraw you from that assessment. The convenor will arrange for you to sit an individual assessment on or as close as possible to the deadline of the group project.

This does not affect your right to submit an assessed piece of work late, or not to submit it, because you consider yourself not fit to complete it. In such cases, you should submit an Extenuating Circumstances claim for late or non-submission.
