The University has a PMC Procedure which can be used by students to ask the University to consider their mitigating circumstances. A PMC can be submitted as a result of: Late submission of an assessment during the four day late submission period; Absence from an assessment such as an examination or presentation; Non-submission of an assessment. If a student attends an examination or submits a piece of coursework, they are declaring themselves as to sit or the assessment and therefore are unable ‘fit submit’ to submit a claim that their standard of performance in the assessment has been adversely affected by mitigating circumstances. In rare situations where illness has occurred during a scheduled assessment such as an examination or presentation, consideration will be given to personal mitigating circumstances. These must be reported at the time to the invigilator or presentation examiner and a student can submit a case of personal mitigating circumstances for non-attendance to request a replacement assessment opportunity. Exceptionally, where a student has been unable to determine if they were fit to sit/submit an assessment and has done so, but has appropriate medical evidence to confirm that they were not in a position to determine their fitness, the student can submit a PMC to request that the assessment attempt should be considered as a non-submission or absence. In cases where a student has a disability which is confirmed part way through an academic year and a Reasonable Adjustment Plan is created, a student can submit PMCs to request that an assessment attempt should be considered as a or absence and effectively request a replacement attempt. A student cannot ask for a replacement assessment attempt for assessments completed in a previous academic year.
