The Mitigating Circumstances Procedures set down the process whereby unforeseen circumstances, which have prevented a student from submitting an item of assessed work for the published deadline date, or from attending an examination, can be brought to the University’s attention. These Procedures have been designed to encourage student engagement in assessments and therefore if your claim relates to coursework you are expected to submit your work within the 2 weeks late coursework period as only in exceptional cases will claims be accepted for non-submission.
Note on Poor Performance Appeals - If you have attempted an exam or submitted an item of coursework on time and you believe that your performance may have been significantly impaired by mitigating circumstances, you should consider submitting an Academic Performance Appeal after your results have been published (see www.londonmet.ac.uk/appeals).

IMPORTANT NOTE - if you believe you have a disability or long-term medical condition: The Mitigating Circumstance Procedure is a retrospective process that solely considers unforeseen circumstances in respect of assessment deadlines that have passed. As such, this is not the correct Procedure to use if you have a disability or a long-term medical condition (unless it has suddenly deteriorated) and wish to be considered for future assessment adjustments and support.If you have a disability/long-term medical condition requiring adjustments or you would like to discuss your eligibility for support, please contact the Disabilities and Dyslexia Service (DDS). Adjustments can be put in place throughout the year. If you are already registered with the DDS but your circumstances have changed, please contact the DDS as soon as possible to ensure that the correct adjustments are in place for you.
