17. COURSE COMPLETION AND ACCREDITATION

To successfully complete any course or programme:

17.1 Attendance and full participation is required at each scheduled session.

17.2 Course assignments must be completed in full

17.3 Where the course requires participants to meet between scheduled sessions for reflection and assignments, full participation and attendance is required. These sessions are self-organised by each subgroup, and participants are expected to cooperate with fellow subgroup participants to ensure meetings happen.

17.4 If a participant needs to miss a virtual session for a valid reason, the participant will be required to watch the session recording and to submit a reflective piece (1000 words) on your learning from the missed session before the next course session or by a date agreed with the course leaders.

17.5. Participants should familiarise theselves with their individual course requirements for the maxmimum number of sessions that can be missed in order to still achieve the programme accreditation.

17.6 A missed session is any session where the participant does not attend or arrives more that 30 minutes after the scheduled course time. 

17.7 Particpants are required to partipate fully in accredited programmes in order to be awarded their accreditation certificate. Perstitent late attendance is likely to prevent full participation.

17.8 If a participant cannot meet full attendance or does not cooperate with their subgroup, then course leaders may withdraw the participant from the programme. A refund will be made for the proportion of the course not taken, less an administrative fee of £250+VAT.

17.9 Exceptions will be handled individually at the discretion of TCS and faculty
