If you have valid mitigating circumstances that prevent you from submitting on time, or are asking for consideration of those circumstances when your work is being assessed, it is important that you follow the correct procedure.
To request deferral of assessment to the next opportunity, it is your responsibility to complete a Mitigating Circumstances Form (available from My Registry) at the earliest opportunity before the deadline for the assignment(s). Your application must include details of any circumstances that may affect your ability to meet the deadline(s) and be supported by relevant third-party documentary evidence.
The evidence will need to be provided with each application, unless you are self-certifying an illness that started in the seven calendar days up to the submission deadline. Examples of valid mitigating reasons are listed in the Mitigating Circumstances Policy document.
Full details of the regulations concerning Mitigating Circumstances can be found on our Policies and Procedures page, or you can download them by clicking the button below:
