Attendance Requirements

The College will undertake, on a daily basis, constant monitoring of students’attendance at lectures. Weekly percentage attendance figures will be availablefor each student from the Students Registry in the first instance.There are three main reasons why the College insists on students attending allclass sessions:1. Your course of studies requires the acquisition of a considerable body ofknowledge, which is built up in stages, each stage building on the next. Ifattendance is irregular at lectures then important concepts, knowledgeetc., will be missed. This will affect the understanding and performance ofthe student in the application of basic principles throughout the program.There is, the College believes, a direct correlation between examinationsuccess rates and attendance at lectures.Any student therefore that has a bad record of attendance may be askedto withdraw from the study program.2. In order to register for an examination, you have to have a satisfactoryattendance percentage of a minimum of 80%.The College does not normally allow time off during term time. Time off duringterm time will normally only be granted under the following conditions1. If a student has been affected by serious illness or bereavement (thedeath of a member of your immediate family). Students will need toproduce a valid medical certificate (signed by a GP).2. If a student needs to attend the marriage ceremony of an immediatefamily member. Students will need to produce the wedding card.Time off will only be granted if accompanied by official documentary evidence.The full documentation must be submitted to the relevant Course Administratorwithin two days of the absence or two weeks prior to a request for extendedleave.For reasons outside of these you will need to put a request in writing togetherwith the relevant supporting documentation. Any grants are at the discretion ofthe college.Any absences, other than those agreed through the above process, will beconsidered a Breach of Assessment Regulations.

Rules and Regulations

The following summarises the Academic Regulations concerning course work,assignments and examinations for all WIC programs.For each module within any WIC Program, the assessment requirements may, over time,change. Students are therefore advised to consult, with the Lecturer concerned, toascertain the exact assessment requirements that are necessary to ensure satisfactorycompletion of specific modules.Assignments must be submitted to the Examinations Office accompanied by a completedAssignment Submission Form, together with a permit from the Accounts Office showingpayment of the necessary fees.The first page of the Assignment Submission Form will be signed by the ExaminationsCoordinator and returned to the student. The student must retain this as evidence ofsubmission of work. After grading the Assignment, comments will be made on the form,signed and returned by the Lecturer to the student.In the event of Failure of a module, the student may be required/permitted by theExamination Board of WIC to resubmit / resit the assessment elements of the subject orrepeat the teaching program for the module in the next semester.Students must pay the required resit fee prevailing at the time.A permit must be obtained from the Accounts Office to show confirmation of payment ofthe necessary fee. This permit will need to be shown to the Examinations Coordinatorbefore any assignments will be accepted for grading or entrance to an examination roomwill be granted.Attendance at all classes is compulsory and a minimum of 80% attendance is requiredby every student before being allowed to sit in the final examination.Withdrawal from subjectsStudents must apply in writing to their Course Administrator if they wish to withdrawfrom a subject. To avoid a fail grade in a subject, an application should be received twoweeks before the deadline date for assignment 1 of that particular subject.Students should note, this is subject to approval and does not guarantee that you will beexempt from the subject during the relevant semester.Late assignment submission and extenuating circumstances10% of marks will be deducted for every day for any work submitted within 48 hours ofthe deadline. If the deadline is on a Thursday or Friday, the deadline for late work will be5pm on Monday. Normally no work will be accepted after this, unless extenuation isgranted.


Student Handbook

Extenuation: If your work has been affected by serious illness or bereavement (thedeath of a member of your immediate family), you may apply for extenuation. Theillness must be serious enough to have prevented you from working.This will normally allow you to submit your work not more than one week after theoriginal deadline (not the late deadline). Students must also inform the examinationsoffice (eg, by letter/phone call) before the deadline for late work has passed thatthey will be claiming extenuation.Extenuation will only be granted if accompanied by official documentary evidence.Usually this will be either a valid medical certificate (signed by your doctor) coveringthe period when the work was being written or a death certificate.Please note that malfunctioning computers, disks, printing and other IT-relatedproblems will not be accepted as a reason for extenuation.

This is due tothe fact that WIC offers accelerated courses, and students have a lot of coursework tocomplete within a short period of time, any time off, can result in students not being ableto complete their assignments on time which would result in automatic fails in therespective modules.The College only gives time off if you have been affected by serious illness orbereavement.
