Missing Exams

If you miss an examination due to illness or some other unavoidable cause, please inform a member of staff, preferably the Departmental Tutor, as soon as possible. The Departmental Tutor should be given a doctor's note if the absence is due to illness, and any possible documentary evidence supporting absences due to other reasons. Doctor’s notes should be from your GP or a hospital. If the reason for absence is accepted as reasonable, arrangements for a deferred assessment may be made in the case of students who are not in the final year of their degree programme - this is normally an alternative exam taken later in the summer.
