All student visa holders and those on BMBS and nursing programmes should check-in through My Day in the MyExeter app.

Attendance Expectations:
Academic engagement levels are recorded to ensure that any student welfare concerns are picked up, Student visa holders are required to check-in to meet their visa obligations and students are progressing academically.
Evidence of student engagement with their degree is captured through assessment submissions, ELE2 usage and attendance at teaching sessions and exams.
How to Report an Absence:
If you are unable to attend a scheduled teaching session, it’s important to report your absence promptly. Here’s how you can do it:
1. Report Online: Record your absence via MyExeter, simply click on any timetabled teaching session and look for the ‘report absence’ button. Or visit https://lisa.exeter.ac.uk/
2. Provide Details: When reporting your absence, please include as much information as possible about the reason. This helps us make a timely and fair decision regarding your request.
3. Review Process: Your absence request will be sent to your Hub Info Point team. The team will review your request and determine whether it can be approved or not based on the information provided.
4. Please Note: This can only be used to report an absence for a scheduled teaching session. If you are going to miss an assessment you will need to review our mitigation process. Our Mitigation process is here to support you through unexpected situations that affect your ability to complete an assessment or exam - such as illness or a family crisis. Further information on mitigation can be found on our mitigation pages https://www.exeter.ac.uk/students/infopoints/yourinfopointservices/mitigation/
