You must remember your responsibilities while in the UK on a Student Route Visa.
You need to:
- Attend all sessions and engage with your course, both in-person and online as required.
- Submit all assignments and coursework on time.
- Keep your contact details in MyRecord up to date so that the University can contact you when required. This includes your UK address and phone number – so please remember to update these if they change once you arrive.
Top Tip
It’s important that you come to campus for all on-campus sessions because poor attendance could jeopardise your Student Route Visa - so consider living within a reasonable commuting distance from campus so you can fully engage with your learning

Each time you tap in, there will be a ‘beep’. The LED on the smartcard reader will flash blue briefly, indicating that your attendance has been successfully recorded. If you do not tap in, your attendance at that class will not be recorded.
