STUDENT ATTENDANCE POLICY<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
October 2025<\/td>\n\u00a0Review date: October 2026<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

Punctuality and commitment to their studies are demonstrable characteristics that must be developed if a student has not already adopted these during their formative education. A good record of attendance demonstrates reliability and obligation to both their studies and their respective academic futures.<\/p>\n

BSMI takes the issue of attendance and timekeeping very seriously and students sign a Student Learning Agreement to indicate that they understand and agree with the College\u2019s Student Attendance Policy.\u00a0Students are provided with a timetable on their first day of arrival so that they have a written reminder of the times and location of their lessons.<\/p>\n

Morning lessons start at 9.00am and afternoon lessons start at 1.00pm unless otherwise advised. If students are more than 10 minutes late for their lessons, they must inform the College of the reasons for their non-attendance by texting or calling the College on the number given to them on their first day in college.<\/p>\n

If the student is under 18, the details will be logged on the Under 18s Absence\/Lateness Form, together with any follow up action taken by the College. The College will also attempt to contact any under-18s who do not phone and do not arrive for lessons after 30 minutes. The details are logged on the Under 18s Absence\/Lateness Form.<\/p>\n

Under-18s will be admitted to lessons if they arrive late. However, the class teacher has discretion to refuse adult students\u2019 entry to a class if they are more than 10 minutes late. Latecomers are asked to come back after the break if their late arrival will cause disruption to the learning of the other students in the class. Students will be marked \u2018late\u2019 or \u2018absent\u2019 in the register accordingly.<\/p>\n

The College will only issue students with a certificate at the end of their course if they have achieved a minimum attendance of 80% for the duration of their course. This is included in the Student Learning Agreement and also included in the Student Progress and Attainment Policy. The College\u2019s policy about lateness and the minimum attendance needed to receive a certificate is also mentioned during the Student Induction Presentation and Student Handbook.<\/p>\n

If students do not attend and their attendance drops to 85% and below or are late on a regular basis, the College will first give a verbal warning. If poor attendance continues or drops to 80% without a valid reason, such as a doctor\u2019s note, the College will issue the first warning letter to the student directly. The letter will be written to the student directly and the agent will be notified of the warning letter sent to the student. At this stage, the student will also be invited to attend to the disciplinary hearing where there will be two members of staff from BSMI discussing student\u2019s reasons for not attending his\/her classes. Between each step we allow students a 2- week period to demonstrate an improvement in their attendance.<\/p>\n

If the student\u2019s attendance does not improve within the two-week period or drops below 80%, the student will receive a final warning letter. When a student receives the final warning, his\/her attendance must be 100% over the next two- week period. If not, he or she will be expelled. If any student is absent for 3 consecutive days, teachers report this to the Academic management team so that we can check students\u2019 whereabouts and find out if there are any welfare issues behind their absence.<\/p>\n

The College will keep a written record of all absences and any warnings (both written and verbal) in the student\u2019s file. The warning steps we take are as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Verbal warning<\/li>\n
  • 1st attendance warning letter<\/li>\n
  • Final warning letter<\/li>\n
  • Expulsion<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    If the situation does not improve following the final warning, BSMI will take further action by contacting the Home Office, which may affect a student\u2019s entitlement to stay in the UK.<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BRITISH SCHOOL OF MARKETING INTERNATIONAL STUDENT
