If my extenuating circumstances application is approved, how long an extension can I get?

For standard programmes, if you submit a self-certified Extenuating Circumstance (EC) application for a written assessment, you will receive a five University working day extension. If you submit an evidenced-based EC application for a written assessment, you may receive a ten University working day extension.

In exceptional circumstances, where the University approves your EC, you may be granted an extension of a further five University working days – a total of 15 University working days from the date of the original assessment deadline. This will only be granted in exceptional circumstances.
