FIT TO SIT 

By sitting or submitting an assessment on the scheduled assessment date, a student is declaring that they are fit to do so and cannot later apply for Special Consideration.

If, during an exam a student feels unwell to the point that they cannot continue with the exam, they should take the following steps:

1. Stop working on the exam and take note of the time

2. If the Course Coordinator or Tutor is present online during the assessment in chat, make contact immediately and advise them that they are unwell

3. Immediately submit a Special Consideration application saying that they felt ill during the exam and were unable to continue

4. If they were able to advise the Course Coordinator or Tutor of the illness during the assessment, attach screenshots of this conversation to the Special Consideration application

TECHNICAL ISSUES 

If students experience a technical issue, they should take the following steps:

1. Take screenshots of as many of the following as possible:

• error messages
• screen not loading
• timestamped speed tests
• power outage maps

2. If the Course Coordinator or Tutor is present online during the assessment in chat, contact should be made immediately to advise them of the issue.

3. A Special Consideration application should be submitted immediately after the conclusion of the assessment, along with the appropriate screenshots.
