Adverse Circumstances impacting assessment items

Do you know what to do if you need an extension on an assignment, or reschedule an in class or formal exam?

The University knows that some students may experience hardship throughout their studies. As a result, you are able to seek consideration for adverse circumstances that may affect your performance in assessment item(s), including formal exams. This may include any adverse circumstances that impact either on your preparation for or attendance at an exam, or your performance during your exam.

Student Hub staff are here to help you with your application and provide any advice you might need in regards to supporting documentation required.

You can apply for Adverse Circumstances by completing the application form online and submitting supporting documentation to a Student Hub. Please note there are strict deadlines and criteria to be met in relation to your application, including the requirement to inform the exam invigilator prior to leaving the examination room if you wish to apply for adverse circumstances impacting on your performance during the exam.

Make sure you are across the Adverse Circumstances policy by watching this video or by checking out the Adverse Circumstances Policy and Procedure.
