Non- Attendance of Student
Absence from Global Security Ltd through illness
It is essential that you inform the Administrator in the Global Security Ltd Office as soon as possible, of any absence whether it is for personal reasons or sickness.
The Administrator should then in turn inform the Course Director and all relevant tutors if a student has a reported absence.
Self-Certification of Illness
- It is your responsibility to 'self-certify' any illness that causes you to have absence from Global Security Ltd for any period up to 7 consecutive calendar days.
This should be done using the 'Self-Certification of Illness Proforma' (SIP), which can be obtained, from the Administrator.
- So that Global Security Ltd Administrator is aware that you have been away from your studies as a result of illness, you should submit an SIP immediately upon your return following the absence.
- If you fail to submit the SIP immediately upon your return, and no later than the 7-day period of grace stated on the proforma, the Administrator will record your absence as 'Unauthorised'.
- Where it is suspected that students are abusing the self-certification process, this will be addressed using the Global Security Ltd Student Disciplinary Procedures.
Such matters are dealt with by the Administrator or a member of the Teaching Staff in the first instance and then, for more serious cases, referred to the Course Director, who may require the student to provide medical evidence.
- Please remember to notify the Administrator that you have returned following any absence.
Absence for non-medical reasons
- If you need leave of absence from Global Security Ltd or if your return is delayed by illness or other special circumstances, you must apply to the Course Director for approval.
Leave of absence is normally granted only in cases of emergency or exceptional circumstances.
Any unapproved absence will be deemed 'Unauthorised'.
Interruption of Programme
- Occasionally a student finds that it is necessary to apply to interrupt a programme of study. For example, this may be for reasons of ill health or pressing personal difficulties.
It is essential that a formal application is made in writing to the Course Director, stating the reasons in full.
Each application will be given every consideration, although it is only when the Course Director writes to the student to approve the request that the student will be allowed to interrupt.
If you think that you need to interrupt your programme, you should make an appointment to discuss your situation with the Course Director.
Leave Of Absence Policy
Policy Statement
Global Security Ltd has adopted the following policy concerning absences from class:
Regular attendance in classes is a vital part of the training process.
Each student is expected to accept the responsibility of attending classes regularly and promptly. Teachers/Trainers are encouraged to state their policy on attendance to their classes; they may refer any student to the Director whose attendance record they consider unsatisfactory.
The Director will follow teachers requests to confer with students who are absent from classes too often and, when necessary, will impose training discipline upon these students, either when recommended by teachers.
Students anticipating the need to be absent are expected to consult with the teacher in a timely manner.
The teacher is not obligated to allow students to make up missed work; it is the teacher's decision whether students may be allowed such a privilege.
Contact the director only when students are unable to contact teachers themselves (e.g., debilitating illness, leaving town suddenly for family emergencies, protracted absences).
It is the student's responsibility to consult directly with the teacher regarding absence from class.
Eligibility
All students in courses administered by the School are eligible for Leave of Absence.
Application Process
Application for a leave of absence should be made in writing and forwarded to the Global Security Ltd.
You should include a simple statement that you wish to apply for leave for leave of absence, some indication of the reason(s) and the length of the period you require. The reason can simply be "family matters", "ill health" or "travel". We do not require a detailed history.
Implications re 'Leave of Absence' for International Students
International Students are not permitted to remain in the
unless they are full-time students.
International students MUST speak with us about the immigration-related ramifications of taking a leave of absence before the leave of absence will be approved. International students who take leaves of absence must be aware of how this might affect his or her visa status.
Length of Absence
- We allow up to four weeks leave of absence in a single application.
- You may be allowed more than this limit but this will be heavily dependent upon your course / training progress to date and your circumstances.
- You may find that we need more detail of your reasons if you request more than the maximum.
- If you require longer than the maximum that can be granted, you will be withdrawn from the course or training program. However, it is rare for re-admission if you have a difficult training history (for example, poor progress records or withdrawals).
Consequences of taking Leave of Absence (with notification)
The principal consequence is that when you return from Leave of Absence (or you are readmitted) the new school rules then in force will be applied to you. You will normally find us to be as flexible as possible about prerequisites, co-requisites etc. that may have changed since you last enrolled. However, please be alert to possible changes and we strongly recommend that you obtain a copy of the latest school rules when you return.
Consequences of taking Leave of Absence (without notification)
An international Student missing a cumulative total of 1 week of course work without notification of absent, will be withdrawn from the course he/she enrolled and fees paid to the school will not refunded in any circumstances.
Compliance with latest Immigration and Nationality Department on notification of absent students
The school will notify to Immigration and Nationality Department immediately about absent students with contact details of
and home country.
The School will also provide help and support for further investigation if required.
Implications of Poor Attendance
Students may well be asked to leave if:
(a) If their attendance rate for your agreed program drops below 80%, particularly if this figure is calculated from 'Unauthorised Absences' and 'Self-Certification of Illness'.
Where Doctor's Certificates are provided, leeway will be given.
(b)'Unauthorised' absences registered are higher than 5% over any 4 week period, so be sure to keep the School Administrator well informed about the nature of any absences.
Withdrawal from Global Security Ltd
A student may find that Circus Training is not for them and it can take courage to admit this to oneself or to others. It is also difficult to tell whether unhappiness is a matter of short-term homesickness or a major mistake in choice of career.
If you have any worries about continuing on your programme, discuss it with someone before making up your mind. We ask that you inform the Administrator of your concerns. The Administrator will arrange for one of the Directors or one of the Tutors to talk through these problems with you to help you clarify your own thoughts and feelings, in confidence.
If you decide to withdraw from your programme you must write to the Director outlining your reasons and giving your last date of attendance.
