Attendance and Engagement Policy To register your attendance you must tap in your UEL student ID card on the attendance card reader inside all classrooms at the start of each lesson. Don’t forget your ID card as you will be marked as absent! You can swipe in no earlier than 15 minutes before the scheduled start time of your timetabled class. If you attend less than 75% of your timetabled classes or you are persistently and/or substantially late to class you could face being withdrawn from your module/programme subject to an appeal. You should report ALL absences using the online Absence Form available at www.uel.ac.uk/attendance. Your absence will still be recorded factually as an absence and you may still face the consequence of being withdrawn; however, keeping us informed will allow us to take your circumstances into consideration.

Your Timetable https://ueltt.uel.ac.uk/calendar/ Your timetable is online and will tell you where you need to go. You can access it on a phone or tablet. You should bookmark the calendar address and check it daily. Remember, if you do not swipe in to the correct room at the correct time you will be marked as absent.

The Campus AVA.1.46 Building Floor Room Number There are several buildings at Docklands and Stratford campuses. Find your classrooms in advance and make sure you have the right campus.
