Welfare and Guidance

Extenuating Circumstances
Unforeseen sudden problems affecting your studies/assessments, significant illness; the death or serious illness of a close relative; family crisis directly affecting the student; exceptional and unforeseen financial hardshipSee welfare tutors immediately to seek advice. We may not act retrospectively.All claims must be supported by a third party evidence, like medical certificates, death certificates, police reports etc.Note that chronic or long-term conditions such as a physical disability, anxiety, depression, ADHD, ME, etc., are not considered as Extenuating Circumstances and instead are addressed using Reasonable AdjustmentsStudent Support at 3 Elms Road (off
Pritchatts Road)Slide4
Extenuating Circumstance and Examinations
You may request a deferral of your examination. All deferral requests must be made BEFORE the commencement of the affected examination. Students with a short term, time limited condition affecting the ability to sit an examination may request Alternative Arrangements for the examination(s) affected.If you do not request a deferral, or if your deferral is not granted, the mark you achieve on your examination will stand (with a mark of 0 recorded for any exams which you do not attend).Circumstances which are not considered Extenuating Circumstances include minor illnesses; assessments or examinations scheduled closely together; personal or domestic events (weddings, holidays, moving house, etc.); sports activities.A request for the deferral of an examination will only be granted in exceptional cases.
E.g, the death of a close relative in the Autumn term is unlikely to be deemed sufficient to grant a deferral, however, the death of a close relative immediately before, or during, the examination
period may be deemed sufficient.
Each
request for deferral will be
considered on
an individual basis
