Any undergraduate or postgraduate student who believes that they have serious and unexpected short-term personal or medical circumstances which have severely impacted on their ability to submit, or that have seriously affected their performance in an assessment is advised, before or as close as possible to the point of assessment, to complete the online application form (located under the student’s ChiView account) on mitigating circumstances, and submit it with independent, corroborating evidence to the Education, Policy, Quality and Partnerships Office.
Please see the mitigating circumstances FAQs on the following page for types of supporting evidence accepted and for further information on making a mitigating circumstances claim: https://www.chi.ac.uk/about-us/policies-and-statements/education-policy-quality-and-partnerships/mitigating-circumstances/
Retrospective claims for mitigating circumstances relating to a previous semester or year cannot be accepted. The Claim must relate to modules/assessments being undertaken in the current semester. Please note that a mitigating circumstances claim is different to an extension, for advice on extensions please contact your tutor or Academic Adviser directly.
