Student Academic Engagement and Wellbeing Policy
The University monitors students’ engagement on their programmes in order to quickly identify those who may be experiencing difficulties. This enables us to offer more timely interventions to support students with any academic, wellbeing or welfare issues that may be inhibiting engagement.
