The only exceptions are where the Head of Centre has given permission, prior to the absence, or the student has phoned the Administrator on 01784 276687, between 9.00am - 9.30am of the day of the absence, with an accepted medical complaint. Students must visit the Health Centre if they are unwell enough to miss classes. Any student missing a class and not following the above rule will receive an 'unauthorised' absence in the register. This will appear on the student's permanent record. Any student missing classes, and not following the above rule, will have an appointment with the welfare officer. If attendance issues continue, a student will be referred to the Head of Centre and will receive a first formal warning, which is kept on their record. Parents, sponsors and/or agents will be informed at this stage. If significant improvement is not made, in line with the first formal warning, a second and 'final' warning will be issued. This may lead to a student's registration being terminated by the Centre. Any student, whose attendance falls below the 80% requirement of their visa, may be reported to the UKVI, in line with requirements for CAS Issuing. This may involve the student failing to have their visa renewed. Poor attendance is likely to influence decisions made by the University as to which students will be accepted onto the undergraduate course. Homework Students will be set, and are required to complete, at least one piece of homework each week. Class room behaviour and etiquette as outlined in the Student Handbook Students are required to follow the rules set by each tutor. Failure to follow these rules will result in an appointment with the Head of Centre. Students are expected to respect the tutor by not talking to others during the tutorial period other than as part of group work or tutorial discussions. Students are not allowed to use mobile phones during lessons. Students are not allowed to eat food in the classrooms. Students may drink water in class, but no other types of drink. I confirm that I have read and understood the above rules and procedures of the Centre and I agree to follow these rules during my period of study at the ISC.

Talk to those around you It may look as if everyone else has made lots of friends and are enjoying themselves, this is not the case. Try talking to students living near you or in your department. Routine helps At school much of your work was timetabled, whereas at university you will need to allocate your time to self-directed learning, it will help if you plan your study time. Keep a balance This may be the first time you have had to look after yourself, as well as making time for fun and socialising make sure you rest, exercise and eat healthily. You may feel homesick Many students will experience homesickness during the transition from home to university, even those who really looked forward to it and had previously felt confident. For most it is an uncomfortable phase but if you are very distressed talk to a Student Counsellor. Take the help that is available As well as Student Counsellors who you can talk to about any concerns in a confidential, friendly setting; the college provides a range of support on issues of health, finance, and educational support. Check the Support and Advisory Services website www.rhul.ac.uk/for-students/student-support/ Sooner rather than later Most students try to manage by themselves and only seek help when they have got into a muddle. No matter how small you think your difficulty is it is better to seek help early. Attendance at Student induction will support you in ALL of these matters.
