Policy on late arrival Whilst the School recognises that are often valid reasons for late arrival to taught sessions led by a lecturer, such late arrival is disadvantageous to the students and others as there is a disruptive impact on the learning experiences of all students. In some practical skills sessions this could lead to potential hazards. The School expects all students to be punctual, arrive in advance of the advertised start time, and be settled ready to start learning activities at that time. Students arriving later than 5 minutes after the advertised start time should not try to gain entry to the room. Lecturers will have authority to ask such students not to join the class. They will be advised when the next available opportunity to join the class will occur. At the Archway Clinic of Herbal Medicine students who are late for the morning or afternoon sessions may be refused entry and will be regarded as absent and liable to make up this time at a later date.
