Final Academic Alerts
A "FINAL" alert will result in a student receiving grade 0X for the module with no right to a resit examination. This can have serious consequences for their university study.
In all pre-honours modules in physics and astronomy, attendance at all classes (lectures, tutorials, workshops, and any specified practical work) is strongly recommended and in some cases is a requirement.
To avoid receiving a FINAL alert, you must meet the following criteria:
