Outside Normal Assessment Period

If you are experiencing any issues or problems throughout the year (outside the University Assessment Period) that you feel may be having a significant effect on you and your studies, you should contact your Adviser of Studies or Personal Tutor as soon as possible.  

If you are unsure who your Advisor of Studies of Personal Tutor is, you should contact the School Office who will be able to provide the relevant contact details.

The deadline for exceptional circumstances applications during the teaching period is three working days after the deadline for submission of continuous assessment or three working days after your return to study (whichever is earlier).

If you are in any doubt about the deadline for exceptional circumstances, you should contact your School Office as a matter of urgency.

If the publication of your result(s) falls outside the published University deadline for return of results, you should submit your appeal form and supporting documentation within 10 working days of the publication of your result(s)
