You are not required to check-in: during reading weeks, exam periods, and breaks between semesters; during any approved absence; during any approved placement / fieldwork off campus.
If you don’t check-in, we’ll contact you with a reminder. If you continue to miss check-ins, your visa could be at risk.
PGT students must continue to check-in over the summer period, before their final submission.
Over the summer period, PGT students on student visas must check-in twice a month, in different weeks. You must continue to check-in until your final submission deadline (or extended deadline, if you are granted an extension).
You do not have to check-in during any period of fieldwork or data collection that is approved with your School.
Up to 14 days: No authorisation required, as long as you meet the check-in requirements.
More than 14 days: You can request an authorised absence for any of the reasons below – contact your School Student Attendance team with leave dates and evidence. If you take this leave without School authorisation, it could impact your current student visa and your eligibility for a graduate route visa (meaning you could only return to the UK on a visitor visa).

You should only submit your final assessment early if you are planning to leave the UK and are happy to return in future on a visitor visa (e.g. for graduation).
Early submission will end your current student visa and make you ineligible for the graduate route visa, due to recent changes in the UK visa system.
Contact your School if you do decide to submit early - you will be exempted from check-ins after submission.
Use the forms linked below to check-in at all your in-person taught sessions.
You can check-in up to 20 min before session starts and 20 min after it ends. You do not have to check-in if your session is cancelled.
FSE foundation students are not required to complete these forms, as their attendance is already registered elsewhere.
