From 23rd September 2024, the university allows the limited use of self-certification in the Extenuating Circumstances process.
Self-certification can be used on three occasions in an Academic Year (additional claims will need to be independently evidenced). Each instance of self-certification may cover multiple assessments due within a 7-calendar day period.
How do I self certify?
The ECs system requires you to upload evidence to complete your claim, so please just attach a pdf screenshot of this web page as your evidence.
What are the limitations?
Main sit:
- During the academic year self-certification can be used to request an extension, a deferral or impaired performance.
Resit:
- During the resit period self-certification can be used to request a deferral or impaired performance. Self-certification cannot be used to request an extension during the resit period.
The Extenuating Circumstances Procedure is here to support you where there circumstances affect your performance in or ability to undertake an assessment.
