Special Consideration

If you want an extension for an assignment or essay, contact your Course Co-ordinator or Academic Administrator. A request for Special Consideration is not a request for an extension. For assessment items less than 10%, please contact your Course Coordinator for advice, as these do not qualify under the Special consideration Regulations. Find out how to apply for Special Consideration.
