Reporting Non-Attendance

1. Universities are required by the UK Government to report any student who:

• Does not arrive and/or register.
• Does not attend regularly (misses expected contacts during course).
• Withdraws
• Changes course.
• Takes a break from their studies.
• Is excluded/expelled from the University.

2. If you cannot prove that you are registered, attending according to regulations and making academic
progress:

• Your visa will become invalid.
• You will have to leave the UK
• You may not be able to extend your visa or obtain another visa in future

The Government now requires universities to tell them if a student doesn’t arrive to register, takes time away from their studies, does not attend or leaves the University. Getting approval from your department is not sufficient. Contact Student Services if in any doubt.
