Absence Reporting for Students not on Health Courses

If you are unable to attend University sessions or placement institutions then you should report your absence via the STUDENT DETAILS using the SELF CERTIFICATION tab (avialable via the student hub).

When you are absent you must notify the University via the self certification tab as soon as possible and before 9.00 am on the first day of your absence if possible.

ITE students who are absent during a placement day must also contact their placement school and advise them of their absence and the reasons for this. You must contact your placement school before the commencement of the school day and also report your absence via the sepf certification tab.
