Attendance

Collusion is the submission by two or more students of the same or substantially similar pieces of work, or parts of pieces of work that are presented as a student’s individually authored work. Collusion may arise from students working together or from one student allowing others to copy his or her work. While all students are actively encouraged to work with others, students must never pass off the other’s work as their own. Falsification of evidence or research results is to attempt to present as factually true information or other outcomes which are demonstrably false such as claiming to have completed activities, contributed to a project or delivered specific results when that has not in fact been the case. Please note these are not the only possible assessment regularities. Further information is available at: https://www.ncl.ac.uk/students/progress/Regulations/Procedures/assessment.htm.

As per University policy ‘Students are, except for absence with good cause, expected to attend all elements of their programme of study, including lectures, seminars, tutorials, laboratory work, etc. [. . . ]. If for illness or other good reason you are unable to attend scheduled module teaching you should inform the module tutor indicating why you cannot, or could not, attend. As part of your commitment to your studies you are expected to attend all elements of your programme of study, except for absence with good cause. See the Student Attendance Monitoring Policy available here: https://www.ncl.ac.uk/student-progress/policies/policies/attendance/.

If you need to record a genuine absence from your studies, you should follow the Student Absence Procedure: https://www.ncl.ac.uk/studentprogress/policies/procedures/studentsicknessandabsenceprocedure/, submitting an absence request via your Academic School, rather than the Student Self-Service Portal (SP3) at the moment, for absences expected to last longer than three days.

Attendance at timetable teaching is monitored and poor attendance will be noted on your student record. A record of unexplained or unwarranted non-attendance will be reported to your personal tutor and your academic school and, in accordance with University policy, may contribute to a judgment of unsatisfactory progress and the implementation of monitoring or the setting of additional work.
