I have registered for the Fundamentals of Academic English course, but I cannot attend the first session. Do I have to inform the English Language Hub?

Yes! Students who miss the first two sessions will lose their place on the course. It is therefore important that you let the ELH know about your absence before the session by emailing: englishlanguagehub@arden.ac.uk

It is also good manners to inform your lecturer if you cannot attend. Language classes are interactive and require you to participate in group work and pair discussions, and your lecturer will have planned each activity with the number of students in mind. Letting them know about your absence in advance will give the lecturer time to re-plan the activities so everyone can get the most out of the class.
