Special consideration
If unexpected circumstances beyond your control have affected your ability to complete an assessment, you may be eligible to apply for special consideration.
Before you apply, check whether special consideration is the right type of assessment adjustment for you.
Special consideration is made available by the University on the understanding that students will use it sparingly and only in cases of proven genuine need.
