If you are absent you should inform your School from the first day of absence or as soon as possible by telephone – 029 2068 7979 or email HCAREStudentAbsence@cardiff.ac.uk
If you are absent for more than ten consecutive working days you must speak to your Personal Tutor, Supervisor or a member of staff in your Academic School Office. You may need to apply for an interruption of study, unless you are transferring to another scheme, otherwise you will be requested to withdraw. If you have queries or want some advice about what action you should take speak with your Personal Tutor, or staff in your School Office. Further information regarding absence is available in the Academic Regulations Handbook.
It is very important that you notify the University of any absences as non-attendance may result in:
- the initiation of Monitoring and Exclusions Procedures by the School,
- you being deemed to have withdrawn from the University,
- a sponsor being informed of non-attendance, which may result in the adjustment of financial support,
- the Student Loans Company being informed of non-attendance, which may result in the initiation of repayment proceedings.
- there are mandatory attendance rules for each profession which are dictated by the regulatory bodies. Failure to comply with these may mean that you will be unable to complete your programme and apply for professional registration.
- failure to comply with professional, statutory and regulatory body (PSRB) requirements
