Attendance Reporting Procedure

When you arrive at class, your lecturer will verify your attendance, which is crucial for meeting course requirements and academic support. If you are unable to attend classes, follow the college’s attendance procedures diligently to document your presence officially. This is vital for fulfilling course requirements, maintaining eligibility for exams and assignments, and receiving academic support. Our student services team also manages student attendance (both authorised and unauthorised), attendance recording and reporting, and takes necessary actions such as issuing attendance warning letters, suspension, and withdrawals from the course, all in accordance with College policies and procedures. Remember, your attendance contributes to a positive learning environment and encourages active participation and engagement with your peers and instructors. By promptly informing the Attendance Team and adhering to the college’s attendance procedures, you would have fulfilled your commitment to your educational providers, enabled them to support you more effectively and significantly reduced any potential negative impact on your study. Failure to maintain contact with the college and follow protocols may result in course suspension or expulsion for persistent offenders.

  • Follow College Procedures: Adhere to MRC absence reporting procedures and submit the attendance form if your absence extends beyond one week.
  • Document Your Absence: Keep records of your communication with the Attendance Team for your reference.
  • Follow Up if Necessary: If you do not receive confirmation of your authorised absence, or have concerns, follow up with the Attendance Team.

To discuss attendance, concerns, welfare, special requirements, or seek support with Disability Student’s Allowance (DSA) applications, students must follow these steps:

Student ID Card

Upon completing enrolments, Mont Rose College (MRC) automatically issues Student ID Cards to all students. At the conclusion of the induction student typically collect their student ID cards along with other essential documents. Your MRC Student ID Card is a vital tool granting access to our campuses and various facilities such as printing and the car park.

Due to the sensitivity of access (related to Health and Safety), we strongly advise all students to exercise caution and NEVER allow others to use their card. In the event of misplacement or loss, it is crucial to notify MRC immediately to block the card and arrange for a replacement, subject to a nominal administrative fee.

Students requesting an ID Card (including Replacement ID Cards) must adhere to the following steps:

  1. Call the Student Services Team to Report a Lost or Misplaced ID Card
    • At the conclusion of the Induction Day, the Student Services distribute Student ID Cards. Students who misplace their ID Cards must report them as “LOST” immediately by calling the college and requesting a transfer to the Student Services, or by dialling Ext: 1003 or 1027.

Deadline Extensions, Interruption from Studies & Student Withdrawals

Students must initiate the process by emailing the Student Services to request a form for various purposes: seeking an extension of the assignment submission deadline, suspending studies due to mitigating circumstances (personal or medical reasons), or withdrawing from the course entirely. In each scenario, it is imperative for students to complete and submit the appropriate form, then email to: Student.Services@mrcollege.ac.uk

while also copying the relevant heads of departments. Students should clearly state their reason for the request and attach any supporting evidence if available.

For requests regarding deadline extensions and interruptions of studies, the relevant Head of Department will review the form and decide whether to grant the extension or interruption, and then communicate the decision to the student accordingly. In cases of withdrawals, the Student Services will evaluate the form and inform the student of the decision in alignment with the terms and conditions of student enrolments.

Induction

The primary aim of the induction process is to warmly welcome our new students, and to emphasise their importance and value within our community. We strive to assist them in integrating smoothly into the college environment and feeling like part of our family from the start.

Another crucial aspect of the induction is to acquaint new students with the college’s main departments, faculty members, and campus layout. By doing so, we aim to ensure they feel confident and at ease in their new surroundings, affirming that they have chosen the right place for their educational journey. Additionally, the induction serves as an opportunity to underscore the significance of students’ adherence to Mont Rose College’s terms and conditions.

This commitment is fundamental to unlocking personalised education and support from our staff, who are committed to helping every student achieve their professional aspirations.

The Student Services Team will oversee the induction process to ensure all students feel welcomed and supported. The Team maintains open communication with students, provides the necessary information and gathers any missing details before and after the induction. This meticulous approach ensures that the beginning of every student’s educational journey is seamless and devoid of unnecessary stress. We will email tailored information packs to all enrolled students to ensure everyone stays informed. Alternatively, you can use the link below:

Internal Transfers

Students who wish to internally transfer from their registered course to another (e.g., from Business to Hospitality) or change their timetabled attendance session (as provided on induction day) from morning to evening or vice versa can submit their request via email to the Student Services, while providing a clear explanation for the transfer request.

For internal transfers involving a change in session time, upon receiving the emailed request, the Student Services Team will collaborate with the Head of Department, who will communicate their decision to the student, confirming the new timetable. In case a student wishes to change their entire program, the Student Services Team will coordinate with Student Finance (SFE) to assess their eligibility for transfer and will communicate the decision in due course. It is important to note that this process is beyond Mont Rose College’s control. In all such situations, students need to provide feedback or suggestions and drop it into the feedback box located on the fifth floor of Mont Rose House or the Ground Floor of Shakespeare House. This will help us immensely as it enhances the quality of our service.

Moodle and Blackboard

The VLE portal serves as a platform for students to access their modules, assignments, and related session materials. Similarly, Buckinghamshire New University (BNU) enrolled students use Blackboard for the same purpose. Your Student Credentials consist of unique usernames and passwords that grant access to the PCs in our computer labs across all campuses, as well as your dedicated MRC email ID. Once student complete their enrolment, they will receive their unique credentials, allowing them to log in using their college email addresses provided during admissions and access Moodle after the induction process. Students unable to attend induction due to legitimate reasons must promptly contact the Student Service Team to finalise their enrolment details.

Throughout the duration of their course, students facing difficulties can reach out to the Student Service Team in person by visiting the 5th Floor of Mont Rose House or Ground Floor of Shakespeare House or by email for prompt resolution.

Additionally, students can contact the MRC IT team. We encourage students to email and book an appointment for a comprehensive step-by-step explanation addressing Moodle access queries.

For assistance, please email:
Moodle.Help@mrcollege.ac.uk

Upon receiving your request, a resolute team member from Student Services will be available to guide you, working promptly to address your concerns. You can also reach us by calling:

T: 0149 460 5000

Library Facilities

Our online and paper library is well-stocked, covering a wide array of subjects, particularly those related to our courses. We ensure its relevance by consistently updating it with new books recommended by our academic peers.

Students who wish to borrow books can easily do so by reaching out to the Student Services Department. They simply need to submit their request via email and schedule an appointment to access the library services. In their email, students must provide their full name, college ID number, the title of their module, the full title of the book along with the author’s name/s and year of publication. Additionally, students must confirm alternative book titles given by their module lecturer, to help us in our search for books.

Upon submission, students will receive a confirmation email regarding the availability of the requested books and instructions on when to collect them from either the 5th Floor (Mont Rose House) or Ground Floor (Shakespeare House).

We kindly request our valued students to be mindful that due to limited stock, they may keep the book for a duration of two weeks before returning it to allow other students access. However, if they require an extension, they can request it by emailing the Student Services Department, subject to availability, for an additional short duration.

Registering and having your name on the Electoral register is also a useful tool to proving your identity and home address which helps greatly when applying for rental, credit card, or mobile phone contract.
