Can low attendance get your offer withdrawn?

Hello people.

Recently I've been missing a lot of school which caused my attendance to drop pretty low, like 60/70% low.

I've received offers from unis a good few weeks ago, one unconditional. I have now made my choices and I'm sure I can make the grades.

I wondered though, can unis withdraw my offers due to low attendance?

I'm pretty sure this is not something that happens. I would imagine there is a good chance the offer might not be made in the first place if the reference would mention that the person has low attendance or has poor punctuality.

Or could they withdraw offers?

I also think that the unis are more concerned with the actual grades and your personal statement rather than anything else.

No, they can't.

However even unconditional offers can be withdrawn if you don't sit the exams you said you were going to sit. If your attendance gets super low without a good reason, will your school/college still let you sit the exams?

TBH it's not a good idea to get into the habit of not attending (unless you've been ill or something) because then it's harder to break that pattern when you do arrive at uni and no-one's checking up on you.

Btw I never realised attendance was optional. How are you getting away with it OP?

You got to the core there. I feel really guilty for not attending as it does contribute to bad habit. Not all that much bothered about school itself as not much teaching going on there anyways.



It's not optional. I did get a shi*load of crap for it today. They threatened they will withdraw me from exams. Not gonna happen though from what I heard, just wanted to scare me. Fairly deserved I guess. And how I get away with it, I don't have a clue myself. Consider me lucky.

You should be aiming for maximum attendance for your own sake. However I cannot see how your school would withdraw you as they have already paid for these exams and if someone lost a university place over something like this the school could end up with legal repercussions.
The problem is universities brought in unconditional offers in order to attract students. Students are aware they do not have conditions to meet so become demotivated. It doesn't matter to the student but the schools are trying to protect their reputation league tables etc and if their students don't do so well their figures look bad.
The efforts of your teachers are taken more for the school's sake than yours but as said previously the worry for you is this could continue with major effects in University.
This is why so many people disapprove of unconditional offers

Thanks guys.
I pretty much need to sort myself out. Since I posted I have missed just 1 day of school I think.
I really do not want this to become a habit as it will impact my uni performance.
I also do want to do my very best in my A Levels but at the same time I keep thinking it doesn't matter that much since I'd be happy at RH with my unconditional.
But as mentioned, since I am predicted AAA ending up with something like BCD would make me look like an idiot.
I just want sixth form to be over. Done 3 years, retaking year 12 once. Weather is getting so nice and it's making me not wanna work.
But yeah, last little push, get decent grades and be done with it
