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.
