Self-certified extenuating circumstances: policy reminder
Extenuating circumstances are "circumstances that are outside a student's control which may have a negative impact on a student's ability to undertake or complete any assessment so as to cast doubt on the likely validity of the assessment as a measure of the student's achievement". Extenuating circumstances may include medical and personal circumstances such as bereavement, but do not include events such as holidays, mixing up deadlines, workload (academic work, and formal employment), computer problems, or not being aware of rules, regulations or procedures. The Extenuating Circumstances policy is to help students where circumstances are beyond their control. It is a short-term measure and claims for extenuating circumstances are not automatically approved. Students need to explain the reason for the claim and usually provide appropriate documentary evidence.
