While the need for consistent scheduling is recognised, projects are occasionallyaffected, beyond the institution’s control, by relationships with external artists, venues,organisations and participants. Students are expected to keep a regular check on the intranetand e-mail in case of any last-minute logistical alterations. Where a change of schedulecauses a clash with another activity, the student should identify this clash to the relevantdepartment within five working days of publication of the alteration.

8.10 If the student wishes to be absent from TL for any period of time, a Permission for Absencerequest form must be emailed to [email protected] (available on Moodle).This form should be completed by the deadlines advertised each term.
Permission to be absent must never be assumed. A Permission for Absence request formmust be completed with approval before the student agrees to accept outside work, (even ifthe student’s diary appears free at the time of engagement). Students should not acceptexternal work before obtaining this permission. While every effort will be made toaccommodate outside engagements, this will not always be possible.
8.11 Students who fail to secure permission for absence and whose attendance patterns give
cause for concern may find themselves penalised in various ways, including :
Scholarships: loss of scholarship and/or recommendations for future scholarshipswithheld
