Students who suffer particular disadvantage or illness during a semester may apply for special consideration. Special consideration applications must be lodged within three days of the due date of the piece of assessment (usually the exam). All applications for special consideration for economics and commerce subjects are considered by a Faculty committee. Applications must be accompanied by detailed independent supporting documentation. Applications lodged without adequate documentation cannot be considered.
Students are not advised of the outcome of their application but if a special exam is to be awarded these will usually be held around the time of the release of results and students will receive short notice (minimum 48 hours) of the award of these exams. Advice is usually provided via email to a student's University account and this should be checked regularly if an application for special consideration has been lodged.
Further information about Study skills can be found in the general information section of this Handbook.
