Extenuating Circumstances (EC's)

It may be that you can't complete one or more of the assessments on time, because of 'extenuating circumstances'. For example, you may be poorly, struggling emotionally or with your wellbeing, or you may have stressful life circumstances. In these instances you should contact Alister or your PDT as early as possible, and we will help you to contact the Extenuating Circumstances team to get an extension (ExtenuatingCircumstances@marjon.ac.uk).

Deferred Work

If you get granted 'ECs' (i.e., extenuating circumstances), then you can submit either up to 2 weeks later than the original deadlines or during the summer Resit and Deferred Assessment Week, which is the week ending Friday 29th July 2022. If you submit it during the Resit and Deferred Assessment Week, then this is a 'deferred' assessment. With EC's, your mark doesn't get capped. Without EC's, you might still have the chance to defer your work, but you could get a capped mark of 40 - Not cool!

Resit Work

You might 'fail' the module, if you get an overall module mark of 39 or lower. If this happens, then you may be required to re-complete or 'resit' assessments that you failed during the week that ends Friday 29th July 2022.
