09.6 Absences

Your presence in class is an important part of your own learning and of the community of learning that you participate in here at college.  If you require an absence from college during term time (other than for illness), we ask that you discuss this with your chaplain (or the Director of Part-Time Studies) prior to the time of absence. Permission for such absences is not normally granted for extra-College activities (e.g. camps, conferences etc.). Because we think that community matters, in the event of an absence of more than two days, your chaplain (or the Director of Part Time Studies) will also direct you to request permission from the Principal prior to your absence.
