We understand that occasionally attendance may not be possible due to external factors, however you must follow the correct procedure to report your absences to us.
For absences of 3 days or less
If you are absent for 3 days or less, you should report this absence to us by emailing student-retention@greenwich.ac.uk Please include your student ID number and Faculty. You need to ensure that you attend your next timetabled session after your period of absence and continue to attend as usual. If you do not do this, you will be escalated for non-attendance. If you are unable to attend your next timetabled session, you must complete an authorised absence form which you can also find on the student portal under My Learning.
For absences of more than 3 days
You must complete the authorised absence form for absences of more than 3 consecutive days as per the student attendance policy.
All absences must be supported by appropriate evidence.
• In some cases, if you are absent for a prolonged period, a better option may be to interrupt your studies.
Your Academic Tutor, Retention Team or Faculty Student Advisor will be able to advise on support available within the university.
Further information on attendance, support available, and details of the Retention team can be found here: Student Retention and Engagement | Student Services | University of Greenwich
