Sickness, whilst it may be unavoidable, will usually be marked as unauthorised.
Whilst the College is sympathetic to cases of genuine illness, it is important that these are kept to a minimum as repeated absence will affect the chances of success on your course and may result in non-payment of the bursary if this is not authorised.
If you believe that your absence should be authorised because of special reasons, such as chronic illness or a disability, please speak to your Personal Tutor or the Attendance Officer for your course area (see telephone numbers above), in confidence.
For longer periods of absence, you should contact your Personal Tutor or the Attendance Officer to discuss how this will affect your study and payments.
