Requesting your A (Absence) to be changed to an E (Explained) Absence
If you want the register to be marked as an E (Explained) you will need to provide proof that you were involved in an activity that can be marked as Explained (See Student Attendance Procedure).
If you receive EMA funding you must present this proof to the Student Funding Team based in Student Services. You must do this within two weeks of the absence to ensure that you continue to receive the funding. If proof is not presented to the Student Funding Team your absence cannot be marked on the Register as E (Explained).
If you are not in receipt of funding you should provide the evidence to your Faculty Office who should file it in your Personal Record file.
Your Faculty monitors student absences and decide on the appropriate action to be taken in line with the Student Disciplinary Procedure. This may result in you being asked to leave college on the basis of poor absence.
