Policy on Extenuating Circumstances
Students are expected to meet the academic demands of their chosen programme. However, they may experience a range of serious and unanticipated difficulties, which adversely affect their ability to study, complete assessments or attend their required classes and other learning activities. The Policy on Extenuating Circumstances provides a framework through which Boards of Examiners may take these difficulties into account in a fair and equitable manner, establishing key principles and outlining the process to be followed.
