FAQ 1168
I was unwell during my exam, can I apply for mitigation?

If you were unwell during an exam and had to leave early or feel that your performance was affected you should submit a mitigating circumstances application.  


You will need medical evidence to support your application - it is recommended that you contact your Doctor as soon as possible after the exam to obtain this.  


If your mitigation is accepted you will normally be offered a deferral in the exam and you will not receive your mark or feedback on the exam you attempted.
