8. Special consideration
Students who were substantially hampered by illness or circumstances beyond their control during a semester may apply for special consideration. Special consideration applications must be lodged on the Student Information System (SIS): https://sis.unimelb.edu.au/cgi-bin/special-consideration.pl within three working days of the due date of the piece of assessment (usually the exam) for the subject. All applications for special consideration for commerce subjects are considered by a Faculty committee. Applications must be accompanied by detailed independent supporting documentation. The faculty needs to know the impact, severity, timing and how your circumstances have affected you. You can use the University of Melbourne's Health Care or Appropriate Professional (HCAP) form to provide this information. Applications lodged without independent documentation cannot be considered.
If a special exam is to be awarded (as the outcome of an application) 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 Special consideration can be found in the general information section of this Handbook.
