PLEASE NOTE
Failure to attend a test will result in a mark of 0 being recorded for that part of the assessment
for the module. If the absence or failure to submit is owed to medical reasons, you should (i) notify
the relevant module tutor and (ii) obtain a medical certificate. Please note that there is no automatic
compensation of marks where a test has been missed, and the mark for that component of the
module will remain 0. Similarly, there is normally no possibility to take a missed test at a later date.
However, any medical or similar evidence submitted may be taken into consideration by the Board of
Examiners for your degree when making a decision at the end of year regarding your progression.
