Requesting Assessment Support for Mitigating Circumstances

You can now request assessment support for Mitigating Circumstances via Ask Campus Life. 

If unexpected or difficult circumstances outside of your control have affected your ability to complete or perform in an assessment, you can request Assessment Support for Mitigating Circumstances through the Ask Campus Life platform.  

Depending on your situation, you may be eligible for self-certified short-term support (up to 5 days with no evidence required), support for longer-term circumstances (with supporting evidence), planned absences, or technical submission difficulties.   

To apply, complete the online form, select the type of circumstances, provide details of the affected assessments, explain how your studies have been impacted, and upload evidence where required. Requests should normally be submitted before the assessment deadline or event date, and Campus Life will review your application and notify you of the outcome, usually within five working days. 

Please refer to the Student Guide on how to request assessment support for Mitigating Circumstances on the Student Portal.

Please refer to the Mitigating Circumstances Regulations and Assessment Support Procedure to confirm the accepted grounds and timings for requests.
