Special considerations

As Covid-19 may be affecting your academic progression, we want to ensure all students are supported to achieve in their learning. Find out about assessment expectations, appeals and results, and applying for special consideration here. 

Students will need to upload their Assura confirmation email as part of the special consideration process for Covid-19. Students do not need a medical certificate.
