Attendance


As a student at LJMU you are expected to attend the lecture/classes published on your timetable for the modules you are registered to study. If for any reason you are unable to attend the University, you should contact the Student Zone in your local LRC as soon as possible.


If you are ill and the sickness is long term or occurs during critical assessment periods it is imperative that you contact your academic tutor and check out the PMC procedures in the assessment regulations. See page 35 in this Handbook or go to: ljmu.ac.uk/corporate/SPR/60399.htm


The University is required to inform the Student Loans Company about any student who is not attending the University. Such students will then cease to receive payments from the Students Loan Company, and LJMU will cease to receive core funding with respect to these students. Consequently, the University reserves the right to cancel the registration of any student who is not obviously in attendance at the University. Students will be informed of such action, with letters being sent to the local address recorded on the student database.


LJMU will check on your attendance in a number of ways and you are expected to comply with requests for information about this. You will be expected to reply accurately and promptly to emails requesting confirmation of attendance. Attempts to falsify attendance reports will be treated as a disciplinary offence.


When attendance is questioned, LJMU may check on the various databases used to manage activity around the University – such as those used to manage IT resources, access to library materials, coursework submission, photocopier usage, etc.


Student Behaviour


It is essential for a large organisation like LJMU to create and maintain an atmosphere that is conducive to the academic and social well-being of the University community. LJMU actively discourages behaviour that will adversely affect this atmosphere.


It follows then that LJMU has an expectation that students will conduct themselves at all times in a manner which demonstrates respect for the University, its staff, students and property and the wider community.


LJMU’s expectations with respect to student behaviour are set out in a Code of Conduct and associated Rules of Behaviour. These apply to all current students registered at the University and cover behaviour on and off LJMU premises, including practice placements, field trips, and behaviour in student accommodation.


It is important that you familiarise yourself with this Code of Conduct, see: www.ljmu.ac.uk/corporate/68212.htm for more information.


These documents provide a framework for all student interactions – with other students, with staff and with members of the community. They are not meant to be onerous or unnecessarily restrictive, but they are intended to protect the right of each individual to participate fully in the life of the University. For example, it is not acceptable for any student to set off a fire alarm unnecessarily. Nor is it acceptable for students to harass and intimidate staff when something has gone wrong. Staff are available to assist you with sorting out problems. If you are not happy with the outcome of such assistance, there is a Student Complaints procedure that can be instigated.
