Every registered student is expected to attend all lectures, tutorials, laboratory classes etc. In the case of absence through illness, a student must, if possible, give notice of each absence in writing to the Lecturer concerned and/or Head of Department responsible. In the case of such absence for more than four lecture days the student must, on resuming attendance, notify the Lecturer concerned and/or Head of Department in writing and, if required by the Lecturer and/or Head of Department to do so, lodge a medical certificate with the Head of Department, who in turn will send a copy to the Student Records and Examinations.
A student will not be permitted to enter for an examination at the conclusion of a module if attendance at that module is not considered satisfactory by the Registrar and Senior Vice-President Academic following a report by the Lecturer concerned and/or Head of Department responsible for the module. The decision of the Registrar and Senior Vice-President Academic is subject to the appeal of the Academic Council of the University.
* Medical students should refer to the details regarding Attendance, in the College of Medicine and Health Section of the University Calendar (see here).
