Assessment support options
Processes to help you if you’re facing difficult circumstances.
We want all our students to be able to succeed and so we want to support you if personal difficulties or circumstances affect your studies and mean that you may be unable to complete, submit or attend assessments. If this happens to you please contact us and we will give you advice and support.
Our Information Point staff will help you understand the options available, and can refer you to specialist staff or support processes as appropriate to your situation. Please see below if you would like to find out more about the support processes we offer.
If you need more time
If you experience a problem meaning that you cannot meet the assignment submission deadline, some modules have a late submission window where you're able to submit your assignment without penalty.

If you missed an assessment
Student Support Advisers can advise you of the implications if you have missed or are likely to miss an assessment and guide you through any options that may be available.
If personal difficulties affected your assessment
You can use the exceptional removal of a mark process if you have attempted an assessment but feel that you shouldn’t have done, or if you are taken ill during an assessment.
