What information do I need to provide about my absence?

Full name
Learner ID number
Course or Tutor
Specific reason for absence

Please do not use phrases such as “feeling unwell”, “ill(ness)”, or “sick(ness)”, instead give as much information on your symptoms as possible.

If you have symptoms of a respiratory infection, such as COVID-19, and you have a high temperature or do not feel well enough to go to college or carry out normal activities, try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people, until you no longer have a high temperature (if you had one) or until you no longer feel unwell.
