Monash University Engineering handbook 1995

Special consideration

A student whose performance during a semester or during an examination period is adversely affected by illness or other serious cause may apply for special consideration, and this will be taken into account by the board of examiners when determining the student's results for the subjects affected. If the student misses an examination through illness or is so ill during an examination as to be unable to do justice to his or her real abilities, the student may apply for a special (deferred) examination. In all cases appropriate documentation, a medical certificate where illness is the cause or other documentation, must be provided.

Students should note that a medical certificate stating a `medical condition' is unlikely to be accepted. Staff will find it easier to assess requests for special consideration when part B of the application form is completed by a member of the medical profession.
