Before making travel plans during term time, please speak with your Programme Leader, Personal Tutor, or Supervisor about any impact on your studies during term time. Absence during term time must be approved by the University before you travel.
If you will miss classes or other required activities, you should submit an Authorised Absence Form, signed by your Programme Leader and supported by evidence. Approved absences are normally limited to up to two weeks. If you need to be absent, we recommend that you contact your Faculty Retention and Success Team for guidance as soon as possible. For details on attendance monitoring, please refer to the Student Engagement Policy.
Please note that unauthorised absences may affect your studies and could result in withdrawal from your programme. For further guidance, please refer to the University's travel guidance.
If you have questions relating to your visa, please complete our self-referral form and a member of the team will be happy to assist you.
