Circumstances which may affect your performance

Inform the education and training team of your circumstances. The team will discuss options available to you and, if needed, defer you free of charge. If you have ongoing special requirements check the dedicated page.

What if something happens on the day of the exams?

Always get in touch with the team either beforehand or afterwards. You still have options available to you, and the team will take you through them. If you choose to go ahead, they will inform the appropriate people.
