If you are applying for an extension of between 8-14 days, or for Additional Consideration, you will need to provide evidence for your mitigating circumstances application.

The evidence you have will depend on your situation. If your issue relates to your health, including mental health, the strongest evidence is medical evidence such as a doctor’s or counsellor’s note. If the issue is some other unexpected personal issue, speak to your Student Support Office about what you should provide.

Evidence needs to be dated around the time of the assessment or your application may be rejected. Your School needs to be able to see that you were impacted in the lead-up to the assessment or on the day of your exam. Evidence dated a few weeks or months ago doesn’t always show that you are still being affected closer to the time of the assessment.

LUU Advice can talk to you about your specific circumstances and what evidence would be useful. We’re independent from the University and won’t tell anyone about your circumstances without your permission.
