Mitigation

What is mitigation?

If you are not able to submit your assignment; sit for an exam or have not passed the assessment due to your personal circumstances you can apply for a mitigation.

Mitigation will allow you to submit your work at the next submission opportunity or do an exam at the next available opportunity. Your module tutors will decide on the next submission date for the assignment or exam.

When would I qualify for mitigation?

If you’ve experienced a circumstance that affects your ability to submit on time, then mitigation could be the right option to keep you on track. There are a lot of things that can pop up that trip us up along the way, if you don’t think a 10-calendar-day extension is long enough to finish your work, or you have submitted something and feel that your mark has been affected by personal circumstances, then mitigation could be the next option.

How do I apply?
