Extenuating Circumstances:

Sometimes, unexpected things happen in life that are beyond your control. This can make it harder for you to:

do well on your course

finish your coursework

submit your coursework on time.

If something unforeseeable happens to you, you can let us know and we'll consider that when we mark your work. We call these situations extenuating circumstances.

UAL recognises that the situation in Ukraine will be having an impact on our students from there and may affect their ability to engage fully with their studies at this time. Students from Ukraine, or from other countries, who consider the conflict will have an impact on an assessment may apply for extenuating circumstances and UAL has, for this situation, waived the requirement for evidence in support of an EC claim.

I’ve copied details to the authorised absence process below 😊

Please click here for information on applying for an Authorised Absence.

Authorised Absence can be applied for under 3 categories:

- Illness. Extended periods of illness (more than 5 working days) must be accompanied by evidence e.g., a medical certificate or doctors’ note. If you have sickness of less than 5 days this will be recorded as absence.

- Attendance at appointments/commitments considered inflexible e.g., hospital appointments, religious requirements, court attendance.  Any of these absences over 10 days must be accompanied by evidence.

- Mitigating circumstances e.g., bereavements, serious illness of a close family member, childcare and other caring responsibilities, technical issues related to online study.  Any of these absences over 10 days must be accompanied by evidence.

Requests for Authorised Absence will require approval. If it is approved, you will receive confirmation and you will not be required to attend the session(s) affected.

The authorised absence process is different to the Extenuating Circumstance process. If your absence will have an impact on your assessments, you must also submit a separate claim for Extenuating Circumstances.

If you’re absent for longer than 4 weeks, you may need to consider taking Time Out (for part of a year, or a full year).
