Attendance and class requirements

The Sydney Nursing School Attendance and Participation Provisions (2026) provide the framework for attendance and participation requirements across all coursework programs. Students are expected to familiarise themselves with these provisions, which outline their responsibilities for attending and participating in required learning activities, as well as the processes to follow if they are unable to attend.

Students must apply for Special Consideration for absence from any scheduled required learning activity which includes an assessment.Ìý For additional information, please review the policy

Attendance and participation are monitored.

Students who fail to attend a required learning activity will be recorded as absent.
