We do not offer extensions for coursework, but each case would be considered
on its merits like a request from a non-disabled student

        At UCN disabled & dyslexic students can apply for extensions via the
normal
        procedures, using disability-related issues as justification - with
        supporting evidence as appropriate. Application will be considered
on its
        merits.

        Students are encouraged to develop skills for employability,
including time
        management skills, so repeated requests for extensions are not
encouraged
        but will be granted in exceptional cicumstances.
