Attendance at College

Students are required to attend every class unless they are ill or there is some other absolutely unavoidable reason.

Students should not arrange routine doctor or dentist appointments, or driving lessons when they should be attending classes, and holidays must not be taken in term time.

As you would expect, there is a very strong link between full attendance and not only succeeding in terms of completing your course, but also the grade you are likely to achieve.
