What type of special consideration would not be granted?
The University will consider all requests for special consideration. However, requests that are considered to compromise academic standards (i.e. a request to waive the requirement to complete major assessment tasks) would most likely not be granted. The Assessment Rules (.pdf) state that “It is not possible for special consideration to compensate for every consequence of misadventure or illness on attendance and participation in a unit” and “in some circumstances the application of special consideration will be limited to the remedy of withdrawal without academic penalty”.
