Section 22 Appendix 1 - Notification of Extenuating Circumstances

Any circumstances likely to affect examination performance should be notified in writing, with appropriate supporting documentation, and submitted no later than one week after the end of the examination period in question. These circumstances will be considered in strict confidence.

Circumstances which have already been brought to the attention of the Board of Examiners and for which allowance has already been made (eg extra time allowed because of dyslexia, extension of deadline for coursework) should not be notified in this way. The examiners will be aware of these circumstances, but any circumstances which might affect examination performance can be taken into account only once for each diet of examinations.
