You are expected to attend all your scheduled classes. However, if you’re unable to attend:
- Check your subject’s attendance and assessment requirements in the Handbook.
- If attendance isn’t mandatory and the class was recorded, watch the recording.
- If the class is mandatory, contact your lecturer or tutor and provide supporting evidence (e.g. medical certificate) for unexpected circumstances.
- Ask if you can attend a replacement class.
If your absence impacts an attendance requirement or assessment, apply for Special Consideration within four business days.
If you cannot attend multiple classes due to a disability, health condition, or eligible commitment, consider applying for ongoing support through Student Equity and Disability Services.
If you're considering withdrawing from a subject, book an appointment with a Stop 1 adviser.
