Your engagement requirements

It is important that you attend your teaching sessions and engage with your studies during your degree course at Royal Holloway. This is because research shows that students with good attendance and engagement levels tend to achieve better academic results and we are committed to supporting you as a student so that you can progress with your studies.

We’ll know you’re engaged when you’re:

• Logging attendance at classes
• Using Moodle
• Submitting assessments
