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.
