Supporting documents for special consideration
Make sure you provide the correct supporting documents as evidence of your exceptional or extreme circumstances when you apply for special consideration (for an extension, a deferred scheduled final assessment or a rescheduled deferred assessment).
Check below to find out which documents you need and the acceptable format. All non-English documents must be professionally translated into English by a NAATI-accredited translator. We cannot accept photographs or medical images.
Impact statement
You’ll need to make a detailed impact statement on your application form in addition to providing supporting documents. This statement should explain how circumstances beyond your control have affected your studies and your ability to complete your assessment on or before the set date. It must also say when you’ve been affected and for how long.
If you give false information
You must give us information that’s true, accurate and complete, without intending to mislead or gain advantage. If you make a false statement or provide a falsified supporting document, we won't approve your application and we'll refer the matter to Student Conduct and Complaints for an investigation into academic misconduct.
Do not, under any circumstances, submit fraudulent documentation
You’re responsible for making sure that the documents you supply to us are genuine, accurate and complete. Penalties for submitting a forged, altered or falsified document can include exclusion from the University, a fine of up to AUD $1,000 and a permanent record in Monash systems.
To find out more about your responsibilities (and what you should do if you don’t have the required supporting documents), see our Documentation integrity page.
Extension or deferred assessment documents
If you’re applying for an extension or a deferred scheduled final assessment, you’ll need to provide one or more of the documents below as evidence of your exceptional circumstances.
Medical condition
View
This may include:
- serious chronic or episodic conditions (such as migraines, allergies with sudden flare ups, endometriosis, severe asthma, adenomyosis, or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and related complications)
- acute illness or serious injuries (including influenza or COVID-19, accidents causing physical injuries, dental issues requiring surgery or resulting in significant pain, or severe gastritis)
- scheduled medical procedures
- any medical condition requiring hospitalisation
- recent discharge from hospital.
You need to provide a medical certificate. But if you couldn’t get this certificate when you were affected by your condition, you can instead:
- request a letter of support for the affected period, from a medical practitioner or mental health professional, or
- provide a practitioner certificate to support that your study has been affected, or
- provide a certificate of attendance, along with a statutory declaration - only if you're unable to get a medical certificate.
If you’ve been hospitalised as an inpatient, you can provide evidence of a hospital discharge (e.g. letter).
We can’t accept a statutory declaration alone, in support of a medical condition. Nor can we accept a laboratory test result, COVID-19 test, hospital identification wristband, vaccination card, photograph or medical image (e.g. X-ray, CT and MRI).
If you’re registered with Disability Support Services (DSS), you’ll only need to provide supporting documents if you’re applying for:
- an extension and you're not approved for flexible deadlines
- an extension of more than 10 calendar days from the original due date of the assessment
- a scheduled assessment (e.g. mid-semester and in-class test)
- a deferred assessment
- a rescheduled deferred assessment.
If you’re granted an extension that is longer than 10 calendar days, it’ll start from the original due date of your assessment and align with the additional days mentioned in your medical documents.
-
A medical certificate must state that you were unfit to complete your assessment on or before the date you were meant to complete it, and for how long.
Your doctor can provide the certificate at the consultation. The certificate must be on the medical centre/practitioner's letterhead, signed, stamped and dated.
In Australia, some pharmacists may also provide a medical certificate if the illness falls within the scope of the pharmacist's assessment ability.
If you became unwell during your scheduled final assessment (exam), you must have reported this to the nurse or other medical professional at the assessments venue (or online equivalent). If you don’t do this, we won’t consider your application for a deferred assessment. Only in exceptional circumstances can you defer your assessment if you’ve seen and/or attempted to answer assessment questions.
You may be able to make an appointment for a medical certificate at the University Health Services.

This includes religious observance and ceremonial duties. If your religious or cultural obligation conflicts with your academic commitments, we’re here to support you.
Scheduled assessments
You may apply for special consideration where the date and time of a scheduled assessment conflicts with a significant religious or cultural obligation (e.g. timed in-class tests, mid‑semester tests, practical/lab assessments, or presentations). We understand that these assessment dates are normally fixed, and we want to ensure that you’re not disadvantaged because of your faith.
You need to provide a personal letter of support from a recognised cultural or faith leader.
You can use a statutory declaration (or equivalent) and provide information about the impact of your circumstances on your studies.

Unscheduled assessments
Unscheduled assessments (such as assignments, quizzes, take-home assessments over a long duration of time, or asynchronous online tasks) can generally be completed anytime before the due date once they open, giving you flexibility to plan ahead. If the due date of one of these falls on a day of significant religious or cultural observance, we recommend you complete and submit your assessment before the due date so you can focus fully on the observance when the day arrives. Extensions for an unscheduled assessment due date may only be considered when exceptional circumstances, supported by evidence, have prevented you from completing your work by the due date as planned.
Technical disruption
View
If a technical problem prevented you from completing your scheduled final assessment, you need to have reported it to Exam Support. If you experienced technical issues during an in-semester test, you need to have contacted your faculty support person.
The circumstances must be beyond your control and include a:
- major or continuous disruption to power and/or internet service provision
- major technical problem with computer hardware (e.g. screen or fan malfunction).
Additionally, you need to provide a record confirming the problem (e.g. a call log to the Service Desk), along with screenshots. If you don’t have this documentation, you can instead send us a statutory declaration (or equivalent).
In the event of a major known University technical disruption, we’ll let you know what to do.
-
This record must show that you contacted Exam Support or the Service Desk during your scheduled assessment to report a technical problem.
-
Screenshots of your technical problem must include timestamps confirming that it took place during your assessment. For example, you might provide a time-stamped screenshot of an error message, a window not loading or an internet speed test.

We understand that global conflicts, wars, and international disputes may impact members of our community in different ways. If these events are affecting your wellbeing or your ability to study, we’re here to support you.
You may be eligible for an extension or special consideration if a conflict has directly disrupted your studies. This may include direct impacts on you or your family’s safety and your wellness, accessibility to learning resources or your capacity to engage with your academic responsibilities. Your safety and wellbeing are our top priority. Our focus is to understand how these events personally affect you rather than your physical location or residency.
You’ll be asked to complete a brief impact statement as part of your application. This will help us understand your circumstances and how they have affected your ability to complete assessments. Your statement should explain:
- The nature of the conflict: Briefly describe the situation and how it relates to you personally.
- The impact on your studies: How these circumstances prevented you from completing your assessment on time.
- The timeline: The specific dates you were affected and how long you expect the disruption to last.
