Special consideration

Students whose academic performance has been adversely affected by illness or other serious cause (and who wish to have such illness or cause taken into account in the assessment of their work) should apply with supporting evidence (such as a doctor's certificate) to the Student Administration Office before the examination period begins in any semester.

If performance in an examination is adversely affected by causes beyond a student's control, an application to the Student Administration Office for special consideration must be made within forty-eight hours after the last examination scheduled for the candidate for the semester concerned.

Any student who is unable to sit an examination on the date specified must provide supporting documentation to the subject adviser. The subject adviser has discretionary powers in coordinating an alternative time if this is deemed to be appropriate.
