Mitigation and extenuating circumstancesÂ
Page last updated:
The university recognises that, from time to time, students may encounter issues which may prevent them from being able to submit or take assessment.
This page explains how a student should submit their extenuating circumstances for consideration if they find themselves in this situation.
Can I submit a mitigation request?
Our university operates a fit to sit/fit to submit approach to extenuating circumstances which means students who take their assessment are declaring themselves fit to do so. Students who, for valid reasons, are not fit to take an assessment may submit their extenuating circumstances for consideration by their School Mitigation Panel. This will ensure that the Module Board is fully aware of your circumstances when finalising your marks for the modules affected.
You can apply online for extenuating circumstances by accessing the link below.
Once your submission has been completed, you will receive an automated notice confirming that 'we have received your mitigation request'.
Students' Union Advice Service
The Students' Union Advice Service is independent from the university and do not administer the mitigation and extenuating circumstances procedure, but they do offer advice and guidance on the process itself. If you have any questions about this (including what evidence to provide, your supporting statement or possible impacts on progression) then please contact them, before you submit your application, via their Contact LBSU Advice Form.
