How do I apply for Mitigating Circumstances?

Mitigating Circumstances

The University recognises that there may be times when, through no fault of their own and despite managing learning and assessment appropriately, students may find it impossible to attend an examination or other assessment activity, or to complete an assessment, or to perform to the full extent of their ability because of a serious and unforeseen event. In such instances the University’s intention is to respond sympathetically and deal with the situation and redress the assessment shortfall. 

Students can find out more about the Mitigating Circumstances process by reading 'Regulations and Procedures for the Submission and Consideration of Mitigating Circumstances' policy which can be found here.
