Policy on Workshop Attendance<\/h1>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.17.6″]<\/p>\n

Students must attend\u00a0every day<\/strong>\u00a0of a workshop, and are expected to be punctual.\u00a0The workshops are a vital part of the programme\u00a0and, therefore, we expect all students to book the time off in advance, so they are able to attend their workshops in full. A student may request to miss up to two workshops throughout the programme. If a student does not attend, in full, the required number of workshops, then it may not be possible for them to complete the MSc Financial Management programme.<\/p>\n

Students who are absent for one or more days (or part of a day) will be deemed to have been absent from the entire workshop unless there are mitigating circumstances.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What should I do if I can’t attend a workshop?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you cannot attend any part of the workshop that you are scheduled for, you will need to inform the\u00a0Student Support Team<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0no later than 4 weeks before the workshop takes place in order for an alternative workshop assignment to be arranged.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you notify the team within 4 weeks of the workshop taking place, then you will be zero graded for the workshop assessment and the alternative workshop assignment will not be applicable. This is unless you have supported mitigating circumstances.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you do have mitigating circumstances, you will need to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Complete the Request for Mitigation Form\u00a0<\/strong>(which can be found\u00a0here<\/a><\/strong>);<\/li>\n
  2. Obtain evidence<\/strong> to support your mitigating circumstances application;<\/li>\n
  3. Email<\/strong> the completed form and evidence to\u00a0the Student Support Team<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0as soon as possible <\/strong>(and within 4 weeks of the workshop taking place).\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The completed form and evidence will be saved to your record so that, in future Boards and Panels, we can explain why you did not attend a workshop.<\/p>\n

    For more information on mitigating circumstances, please visit the Mitigating Circumstances page<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
