What are personal mitigating circumstances?
Answer
PMCs are circumstances such as medical or personal issues which have seriously affected your ability to complete an assessment, over which you have no control, and which you could not have predicted. These should be one off circumstances and not ongoing events or situations.
Circumstances or situations must have affected:
- Your attendance at a timed assessment such as an exam or presentation (absence) OR
- Your ability to submit an assessment (non-submission) or
- Your ability to submit an assessment by the submission date BUT you can submit within the late submission period which is 7 days after the submission date (late submission).
