Enrolment information

Starting your programme

The first two weeks of your programme are vital. You will only be fully registered with the University at the end of the first two weeks of class by:

  • Attending 100% of your scheduled classes (both live online and face to face) including your induction sessions
  • Completing all the tasks set for you both in class and out of class during induction and the first two weeks of teaching

If you cannot attend any of the sessions, please let us know as soon as possible at QAHE.Attendance@qa.com. Non-attendance may result in withdrawal from the programme and will delay you student finance payments.
