To comply with the study conditions of your Student Visa, you must adhere to a strict and robust attendance monitoring policy at St Mary’s University.
Your engagement throughout the full academic year is monitored by the Student Visa Team. You must attend all timetabled (online or face-to-face) sessions and submit all of your work on time.
Reminder: please download MySMU app.
You must record your attendance for all timetabled sessions via a unique access code, presented to you via your lecturer at the beginning of each timetabled session. You will be in breach of your enrolment agreement if you are found to be abusing the system.
Please arrive to your class on-time and record your attendance immediately. If you do not record your attendance there will not be an accurate record.
Unexplained absences from your programme will be investigated which may put your visa sponsorship at risk.
Minimum attendance threshold requirements:
- Foundation degree 85% per week.
- Undergraduate and postgraduate 70% per week (You must check if your programme has a higher attendance threshold, this will depend which degree you study).
If you do not attend or fully engage with your studies, you will be at risk of being withdrawn from the University.
