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.
