Student Attendance HIC

HIC have set the minimum attendance percentage at 85%.

The Student Attendance Procedure has been developed as part of HIC’s commitment to provide a supportive learning environment which enables all students who have chosen to study with the College to achieve their full potential. If you drop below the 85% attendance figure you may be subject to the following consequences:

  1. You will be subject to the HIC Attendance Disciplinary Procedure:
  2. You will be placed on the Students in Jeopardy (SIJ) programme:
  3. You will be issued with a report card
  4. Your parents and agents will be informed of your poor attendance
  5. You may jeopardise your visa conditions and study in the UK
  6. You may jeopardise your progression to UH
  7. You may add extra cost to your studies for repeating a semester or modules
  8. You may add extra cost to your studies for another visa application due to progression change
  9. Termination of Study. The College may withdraw sponsorship of your visa!

Rules to follow to avoid poor attendance:

 

  • Attend all classes on time – if you are more than 10 minutes late to class you will be marked absent
  • Live locally in Hatfield to avoid public transport delays
  • Manage your time, attend all classes, know your assignment deadlines and complete your assignments on time
  • Keep your contact details up to date – we let you know about cancelled/rescheduled/postponed classes by SMS and Portal email
  • If you are unsure about your class or timetable, contact us or check the live timetable: https://www.hic.navitas.com/hic-reception

  • Check your Portal emails daily
  • You cannot leave the country during the semester without HIC authorisation
