Plan for and manage special consideration and short extensions in your units.
Challenges and interruptions to study can occur for many reasons, and every student who is experiencing exceptional circumstances should be supported to succeed. Students can apply for additional time to complete a graded assessment task in the event of immediate and exceptional circumstances beyond their control. Special Consideration is the process of providing an extension or alternative outcome (e.g. an exemption or alternative assessment) for students who apply and meet the criteria.
