Special Consideration for Illness or Misadventure / Compassionate & Compelling Evidence
For a detailed introduction to Special Consideration and the evidence required to apply, please read the student guide here.
If you are ill or have a misadventure before your exam commences, you may be eligible for special consideration.
If you believe you are fit and well to sit your exam and you start it, then you will not be eligible for special consideration unless there is a technical difficulty or WIFI outage during your exam.
To apply for special consideration, complete the Request for Special Consideration Due to Illness or Misadventure Form no later than 3 days after your exam. You must complete the entire form and provide detailed supporting evidence with your form, or your request will be denied.
Please remember only local Australian medical certificates from AHPRA approved practitioners will be accepted.
Supplementary Exams
Supplementary exams are scheduled in the week immediately following the final exam. This may coincide with a Recess Week on the academic calendar. Students who require supplementary exams due to missing a previous exam must attend. If travel is pre-booked and the student misses the supplementary exam as a result, they will receive a zero mark. There are no exceptions to this rule.
