Extenuating Circumstances
The University’s Extenuating Circumstances (EC) procedure is in place if there are genuine short term exceptional circumstances that may prevent you submitting an assessment. If you are not ‘fit to study’, you can either request an extension to the submission deadline of 7 calendar days or you can request to submit the assessment at the next opportunity, i.e. the resit period (as a Defer without capping of the grade). In both instances you must submit an EC application with relevant evidence. If accepted under the university regulations there will be no academic penalty for late submission or non-submission dependent on what is requested. You are reminded that EC covers only short term issues (20 working days) and that if you experience longer term matters that impact on your learning then you must contact the Student Hub for advice.
