Special consideration - deferred examinations

A student whose work during the academic year or whose performance in an examination or other assessment has been affected by illness or other serious cause may apply in writing on a `special consideration form' to the faculty office for special consideration by the examiners or board of examiners concerned.

The application must be accompanied by appropriate evidence and must be made not later than forty-eight hours after the last examination scheduled for the candidate. The faculty manager, where satisfied that the student was unable to make application by the required date, may accept a late application.

The board of examiners may allow a student to sit for a special examination or deferred examination where:

(1) the student has been prevented by illness or other serious cause from presenting for all or part of an examination; or

(2) the student's work during the academic year or performance in the examination has been gravely affected by illness or other serious cause.

Further details are available from the faculty office.
