S.L. 327.633 Art. 38Attendance. Assessment.

(1) Unless otherwise specified in the bye-laws of a

Course, or expressly stated in the description of a Study-Unit as published in the Catalogue of Study-Units, attendance is obligatory for lectures, tutorials, seminars, practical or clinical sessions or work placements, fieldwork and any other teaching session in whatever mode. On the basis of documented evidence, a lecturer may bar a student whose attendance in a Study-Unit is not satisfactory from being assessed in that Study-Unit. In such cases, a 0 mark and an F grade shall be assigned and recorded.

(2) The University will not excuse students for missing lectures or other teaching activities, and neither will it tolerate late submission of assignments or any defaults in Coursework due to work or unauthorised commitments. No rescheduling of lecturing-related activities or assessments will be approved to accommodate such commitments.

(3) Students who fail a Study-Unit due to ineligibility to take the first assessment because of failure to satisfy the attendance requirement shall not be allowed a supplementary assessment, unless in special circumstances with the approval of the Board of Examiners, and if otherwise eligible. In cases where students are allowed a supplementary assessment, the Board of Examiners shall impose special requirements on the student to make up for the missed teaching sessions.
