This applies to exams only.
Students may self-certificate absence from an examination(s) for a maximum of two consecutive calendar days in an examination period, using the extenuating circumstances (EC) claim form.
For absence of more than two consecutive calendar days, or for a further EC claim in the same examination period, medical or other evidence is required.
From September 24th 2024 where the term 'examination period' is used in the Regulations document, this may take place outside the standard university assessment periods.
This is a change to previous policy to be implemented from 24th September for the new academic year (24/25).
For coursework, some assessments are eligible for a no evidence short extension of up to five working days. More information here.
