EMA Learning Agreement Part 1

This part of the EMA Learning Agreement sets out the responsibilities of the student and their Learning Centre around acceptable attendance on the course. The student commits to attending the timetable the Learning Centre has set, in return for a weekly EMA payment.

As a minimum, the EMA Learning Agreement Part 1 should confirm: 

• that the student has enrolled on a valid course
  
  
• that the student has been made fully aware of how their Learning Centre administers the EMA scheme, including attendance and authorised or unauthorised absence
  
  
• the procedure and the student’s responsibility to tell you about authorised or unauthorised absence
  
  
• the appeals system in case of a dispute over unauthorised attendance confirmations and how students can get extra support and advice

Both you and the student need to keep a copy of the EMA Learning Agreement. Both copies must have original signatures.

EMA payments are only made if the student:

• has signed their EMA Learning Agreement
  
  
• has met the attendance criteria you've set out (or has an acceptable authorised absence)
  
  
• has been confirmed on the Learning Centre Portal as having full attendance or authorised absence for all scheduled classes during the given week

When you sign the EMA Learning Agreement Part 1, you also agree to confirm the student’s weekly attendance on the Learning Centre Portal.
