To ensure the University remains compliant, we will now escalate students who have not engaged for 3 weeks for UG/PGT (teaching periods) or within the past month for PGR & PGT (dissertation or project periods)​.

The new systems and processes implemented in January 2025 for monitoring student engagement have been adopted well and there is good coverage across the institution, so Schools/Colleges are asked to cease any local methods for capturing engagement of student visa holders which do not feed into the APEX dashboard.

Schools who have previously used other methods (e.g. Moodle Attendance Plugin) for monitor engagement for all their students, not just those with a student visa, can continue to do so, but the Moodle Attendance Plugin will not be used as evidence of a confirmed check-in in AY 2025-26 for visa monitoring purposes. Only SafeZone check-ins will.
