What should I do if I miss a timetabled session?
There may be occasions when missing one of your timetabled sessions is unavoidable; however you
will not receive an absence mark if you attend an alternative session. To make sure that there are
no problems with attending an alternative group and that your attendance is recorded please follow
the steps below:
1. Check the timetable for the module to find out when other sessions are taking place. You
can find the link (http://nuweb.northumbria.ac.uk/timetabling/tt/ttreports.htm) on the
bottom right of the University home page. Please choose ‘module’ from the first drop down
list and then enter the relevant module code
2. Email the tutor for the session you wish to attend to check that they are happy for you to do
so
3. Make sure that your attendance is recorded on the register at the session
