Academic relations

This implies the following:

• That you supply a valid contact home address to the college for all correspondence and that you notify the Registrar of any change of address without delay.
• That you maintain an active e-mail address that you review regularly.
• That you pay regular attention to college notice boards.

The college does not accept any responsibility whatsoever for any outcome that may result from a failure on your part to observe the above communication principles.

Punctuality
You are required to be present at the appointed start time for your lectures.  By being late, you inevitably disrupt the class for others and you lose out on essential teaching.  Consistent lateness for a particular lecture/module will result in an ‘absent mark’ being registered for you in that module.

Absences
You are asked to notify the registrar if there is a particular legitimate reason for you missing lectures (e.g. certified illness).

Minimum Attendance Requirement
You are expected to attend all lectures and tutorials scheduled for your course.  The college reserves the right to disallow any student from taking the relevant assessment who, without valid notification, fails to attend at least 85% of the prescribed course schedule.

Assignment Submission Deadlines
All assignments must be completed by the appointed deadline.  You must keep a copy of any assignment submitted.  It is college policy not to grant assignment extensions other than in exceptional circumstances.  This ensures the fairness of the challenge set for all students on the programme.  If you feel that there are genuine extenuating circumstances for a failure to complete an assignment your lecturer must be informed in advance of the assignment deadline date.

Consequences of Late Submission
Failure to submit an assignment by the due date, except in the case of extenuating circumstances, will result in your grade being less than would be the case if submitted on time.
