Support if you are concerned about travelling to exams due to the riots
All Mitigating Circumstance (MC) applications that are due to the current rioting and civil unrest will be approved for the current Exam period (August 5 to August 16 2024).
It is important to understand that you may not be able to undertake the delayed assessment until January 2025 and this could impact on your ability to progress on your course as anticipated or graduate on your original timeline.
Please see the article on the Student Hub with information how to submit a Mitigating Circumstance (MC) application here. (internal link)
