英国边境管理局-UKBA(专门负责移民和签证的英国政府部门)针对在英国读语言、预科、学院、大学课程的留学生出台了最新的出勤率条例
UKBA要求学生的出勤率达到100%,除非提供可接受的缺勤原因,例如医生的证明信。
UKBA规定学校必须对缺勤超过10天,或者时常翘课,或者出现其它违规情况的学生进行上报。一旦学生名字被上报给UKBA,学生的签证会被立即取消或者在下次续签时遭到拒绝。
根据UKBA的出勤率条例,索学网老师教大家如何保证自己的出勤率。
如果生病了 | 要早上打电话给学校向校方请假。如果病假超过4天,需要提供医生证明信。 |
如果有很重要的约会(例如大使馆或者工作面试) | 要先得到学校辅导员或者指导员的许可,并且要出示证明信。 |
如果有很严重的个人事情(例如家人病重或要参加家人葬礼) | 去见学校辅导员或者指导员,如果人正在国内要打电话给他们,他们会告诉你要如何去做。 |
打工 | 学生不允许因为打工而缺课 |
其他严重的原因导致缺席 | 先打电话通知学校询问该如何去做 |
总之,每次缺席课程必须得到学校的同意,并且要有相关的证明信。如果不符合的话,将被上报给UKBA或者被学校开除。
下面,贴出一份英国大学的出勤率警告守则,给同学们作为参考。

If your attendance is not over 80% since you had a verbal warning OR you miss 5 days in a row (without permission and a letter) | 1st Written Warning We will give you a formal letter and also send this to your agent and parents. |
If your attendance is not over 80% since you had a 1st Written Warning OR you miss 5 more days in a row (without permission and a letter) | 2nd Written Warning We will give you a formal letter and also send this to your agent and parents. This is your last chance to improve. |
If you miss 10 days in a row (without permission and a letter) | BORDER AGENCY LETTER. We have to send a letter to the Border Agency. This is the law in the UK. We will also inform your agent and parents. |
Final warning – we will talk to you and explain this is your last chance to improve. You must have 100% attendance or you will be expelled from school. |
