If my application for extenuating circumstances is still pending the decision outcome at the time of the assessment event/deadline for coursework submission, should I attend the event or submit my work?

If your application for extenuating circumstances was pending at the time of the assessment event/deadline for coursework submission and later approved by the University:

• If you attended the assessment event/submitted your coursework, your work will not be marked.

If your application for extenuating circumstances was pending at the time of the assessment event/deadline for coursework submission and later rejected by the University:

• If you attended the assessment event/submitted your coursework, your work will be marked.
• If you did not attend the event/submitted coursework and your application was later rejected by the University, then the relevant regulations for non-submission will apply (A0 Regulations for Foundation Year: regulation 73; A1 Regulations for taught programmes: regulation 158).

Where a student attends an assessment event (e.g. a test or examination), and the application was pending an outcome at the time of the event, the student may request their evidenced extenuating circumstance application is withdrawn but must do so as promptly as possible and normally on the same day as the assessment event/deadline.

The evidence relating to the original application must still be provided and the student must also provide reasons for why they could not have withdrawn their application prior to the assessment event/deadline.
