Content of the EMA Learning Agreement

An EMA Learning Agreement sets out the responsibilities of the student and the Learning Centre. It should clearly define:

• acceptable attendance for the course
• what is expected from the student
• the role of the Learning Centre

When students sign their EMA Learning Agreements, they commit to the attendance criteria their Learning Centre has set, in return for a weekly EMA payment.

As a minimum, the EMA Learning Agreement should confirm that:

• the student has enrolled on a valid course
• the student has been made fully aware of how their Learning Centre administers the EMA scheme

The EMA Learning Agreement should be:

• realistic
• adaptable to individual needs
• clear and unambiguous
• not linked to specific grades

The EMA Learning Agreement template includes a question to capture the student’s language preference (English or Welsh). You should select the correct language preference when you confirm on the Learning Centre Portal that the EMA Learning Agreement has been signed.

You must use the EMA Agreement template that is available on the Downloads tab of the Learning Centre Portal.
