I have a Reasonable Adjustment Plan - is there anything I need to be aware of if I need to submit a PMC?
Reasonable Adjustment Plan/Student Support Plan
Answer
If you have a Reasonable Adjustment Plan (RAP) that makes provision for individual assessments arrangements (e.g. extra time to submit assessments), you do not need to complete a PMC form to make use of these arrangements.
You cannot submit a PMC form for matters covered by a RAP or where other interim arrangements have been put in place.
If you have a RAP but experience additional personal mitigating circumstances or the circumstances covered by the RAP worsen, then you may submit a PMC with relevant evidence but you are advised to seek a review of your RAP through the Disability and Learner Support Service. The contact details are disability@salford.ac.uk or by telephone on 0161 295 0023 option 1 then 2.
If you have flexibility around deadlines, you are reminded that this flexibility is built into your RAP for use when required but you and you should try to meet the standard deadlines as far as possible. You should also note that flexibility around submission deadlines cannot be used for reassessments.
