Here at Oldham College, our philosophy is that non-attendance is unacceptable. This applies to all timetabled classes including progress reviews, tutorials, work experience, maths and English lessons. However, we do understand that there may be occasions where you genuinely cannot attend college due to illness or other special circumstances.
If, for any reason, you are unable to attend college, you must email your tutor directly. You will need to do this at least half an hour before your first class.
The way to do this is:
- Log into Google Classroom
- Go to ‘People’ at the top
- Find your tutor’s name in the list
- Click the email icon next to their name, which will create a new email
Within the email include your full name, student number, the reason you are absent and the expected duration of your absence. You will need to email your tutor each morning that you are off.
Please note: No other method of reporting absence will be accepted.
