Extensions and Special Circumstances Service

Welcome to the new Extensions and Special Circumstances service!

Please note

You will be able to submit a special circumstances application from October 2020. You will not be able to submit an application before then.

If something occurs that affects your academic work before this date, you can apply for special circumstances once the system is live. The deadline for applying is one week following your last assessment of the semester, so you will have plenty of time to submit.

If you need help urgently, please do get in touch with your school/PT to access support. Further information on university support services can be found in the “Getting Support” section below.

If you need a learning adjustment or extension now, you can apply through an online form.
