Attendance information given to students
Attendance in all the SSC blocks is compulsory. If there is any medical or other problem that will interfere with attendance, the SSC Supervisor must be informed immediately, along with the SSC secretary.
If absent for less than 5 term days, then self-certificate is required; if more, a relevant medical certificate should be provided. You must also update your absences record on MyCampus. From experience, students who miss more than 5 days find it challenging to make up the time and are likely to fail the SSC. Also, patterns of absences are closely monitored by the Medical School and are an example of a concern in relation to fitness to practice. Please note that you have signed the Student Agreement, which includes agreeing to attend all MBChB sessions and to follow absence procedures if you are unable to attend.
Poor attendance without good cause will be considered to be unprofessional behaviour and dealt with accordingly.
