What we want to change and why we want to change it
At this time of year it’s easy to feel the pressure of exams, deadlines and late nights in the library.
We also know that sometimes serious things happen in your personal life, or in the lives of those close to you, which have a very significant impact on your ability to study or sit exams. We want you to understand the rules and regulations that are there to support and protect you if you experience challenging personal circumstances.
If you sit an exam or submit a piece of coursework, you’re deeming yourself fit to be assessed. Once you’ve been marked and you have achieved a pass, your results can’t be changed. If something in your personal life is affecting your ability to study or complete assessment, you could be eligible for Exceptional Circumstances.
