It is essential that you describe on a separate piece of paper the full nature of circumstances affecting
you and include this with the form. This can be typed or written. Explain how the circumstances
affected your performance in the assessment(s) identified (e.g. time was lost, concentration was
affected, a task could not be completed, etc.)
It is essential that evidence is included to support your claim; e.g. if you are submitting on the
grounds of a medical condition then evidence of the condition will be necessary. If documentary
evidence cannot be obtained prior to the submission of the Exceptional Factors please
identify in the Step 4 statement the date by which this information will be submitted
(normally this should not be more than 5 working days). You should submit this evidence
separately as soon as it is obtained. Remember if you fail to include evidence or evidence is
deemed late your application will be rejected.
If you feel that a specific member of staff can contribute to your claim then you can ask them to
write a supporting statement. This step is optional.
Message to staff - If a student has discussed this claim with you and has asked you to comment in
writing, and if you have sufficient knowledge to help evidence this claim, please write or type a signed
statement to be included with the form. A printed e-mail is also acceptable.
Step 7 - Sign the Submission Statement and submit the form to the Student Hub either in
person or electronically. Your nearest Student Hub can be found here:
