Students with Support Plan that makes reference to a coursework extension
If you have a Support Plan that states on it that extensions to deadlines should be allowed on request wherever possible, you do not need to complete an extenuating circumstances form.
Instead you need to get the approval of the designated member of School staff on this form - Coursework Extension Request Form for students with a Support Plan, and submit it to The Hub which is located in Portland Building Room 120 . You do not need to include any supporting documentation. This form can only be used for one extension per assessment and must be submitted before the original deadline.
Submission can be in person or by email to TheHub@nottingham.edu.cn.
If you have already been granted an extension on the basis of an ARF/DRF but your circumstances change, such that you would like to request a further extension to the already extended deadline, please follow the extenuating circumstances procedure.
