Student academic engagement and wellbeing
The University monitors students’ engagement on their programmes in order to quickly identify those who may be experiencing difficulties and offer more timely interventions to support students with any academic, wellbeing or welfare issues. Where there are repeated low levels of engagement, faculties should follow the Student Academic Engagement and Wellbeing Procedure
