Dear Mr Gaunt,
Your request for information received on 9th May 2013 has now been considered and the
information requested is given below.
Request:
1. Your policy and guidance for Students when their lecturer is
absent, unavailable or cancels lectures at short notice.
2. The guidance supplied to lecturers for attendance and level of
support they should provide to students.
3. The number of lectures cancelled at short notice by lecturers as

a result of the lecturer working from home.
5. The total number of cancelled lectures.
6. The number of cancelled lectures that have reinstated as a

Response:
1. There is currently no University level policy or guidance for students when their lecturer is absent,
unavailable or cancels lectures at short notice. However, there is a policy in development that will be
published in the Student Handbook for the next academic year.
Currently, it is the duty of the School Offices to notify students via text, email or advising students at
the classroom when a lecture has been cancelled at short notice.
It is the responsibility of the lecturer to reschedule any postponed lectures. The learning
opportunities can be rescheduled as lectures, video lectures on the University’s Student Moodle or
lecture notes and tutorial sessions.
2. Please find below a link to the following document;
Details of Professional Contract for Academic
Staff. The document contains information on the level of support that should be provided to
students.
