Punctuality
Your lessons start at the time stated on your timetable. Sessions start promptly, so please ensure you are there before the start time.
You will have gaps on your timetable and days where you may not be in, these are your 'study periods' and will be populated with allocated time in resource areas – please keep checking your timetable.
You are a full-time student 8.45am – 4pm, 5 days a week. We know that many students like to earn their own money and that paid jobs give students the opportunity to develop skills and independence. However, you should be mindful of the amount of working hours you do, to ensure it doesn’t cause a negative impact on your studies, your studies should be your main focus. -
