You must inform the Academy as soon as possible if for any reason you are unable to attend your class. Students who are continuously absent without good reason will be subject to disciplinary action or expulsion. All sponsors, guardians and agents will be notified. Students who arrive late will be marked as Late Attendance (AL) and those who arrive later than 15 minutes will be marked absent (AB).
Holidays or time off during your stay
If you want to book a holiday during your study at the Academy then you must book it in advance and give at least two-weeks’ notice. Unauthorised holidays will be marked as absent and will affect your attendance record. Sponsors, agents and guardians will be informed if holidays are taken without permission.
Photographs and filming
The Academy frequently takes photographs of its students, which can be inside or outside the Academy’s building. We may use these images in our academy’s prospectus, printed publication, website, social media and on the boards. You must tell the Academy before arrival or on the first day if you do not want your photographs or film of you to be used in promotional material or on social media. The Academy cannot accept responsibility for other students sharing images on social media.
Personal information
You must inform the academy of any change of personal information before and during your stay.
