The School monitors MSci student attendance weekly throughout the programme via Programme Directors. This is for your benefit and helps to ensure you are coping with the work. You are also expected to call into the Student Support Office on a monthly basis to sign a register. The Student Support Office will contact you about this at the beginning of the year. If for any reason you cannot report to the Student Support Office you must supply documentary evidence to the Student Support Office strongly supporting your reasons for absence. If you are granted leave of absence, your attendance will be recorded as a permitted absence.
