Concessions

Concessions

Sometimes students' coursework or exam performance is affected because of a significant illness, personal problem or traumatic event, such as a bereavement.  If something happens which adversely affects your ability to study and you are concerned  that your coursework or exam performance will suffer as a result, you can apply for a concession.  Your department can grant concessions such as extra time to submit an essay or other coursework.  It is important, where possible, to apply for a concession before rather than after the coursework deadline or the exam and to provide evidence to support your application.    

If you require advice in this area please contact us for an appointment to discuss your situation in more detail.  Alternatively your University will have their concessions procedures available on their own website for you to view.
