Hi Sally, We also just have a section in the main policy Special Consideration In cases of mitigating circumstances, a candidate will always be encouraged to take an exam. If a candidate takes an exam but feels that his/her exam performance has been adversely affected by mitigating circumstances, such as illness, bereavement or trauma immediately leading up to or on the day of an exam, an application for special consideration can be made on the candidate’s behalf. It is the responsibility of the candidate to inform the Exams Officer of the circumstances and to provide appropriate evidence to support the application within 5 working days from the exam date. In most cases, if the student misses an exam, they will be regarded as absent, receive no marks and will have to take the exam at a later date. Teaching staff must ensure that the student is entered for the exam for the next available exam series. If the student misses an exam in the summer exam series for a legitimate reason, an application for special consideration can be made. Again, appropriate evidence must be given to the Exams Officer to support the application within 5 working days from the exam date. The student may be awarded a mark/grade for the unit based on previous achievement and/or estimated grades. The Exams Officer will submit applications for special consideration within 7 working days of the last exam for the specification Thanks Jade From: The FE Exams Network mailing list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Gillian Russell Sent: 05 January 2017 13:06 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Special Consideration Policy Hi Sally We just have a general section in the main exams policy, which is this: Special Consideration · Should a student be too ill to sit an exam, suffer bereavement or other trauma or be taken ill during the exam itself, it is the student’s responsibility to alert the Exams team or the invigilator of this. · Special consideration can only be applied for after an exam has taken place and within certain conditions and timescales. · Students must supply appropriate evidence to support special consideration applications within 5 days of the exam, for example a doctor’s letter. · The Exams team will make a special consideration application to the appropriate awarding body within set deadlines, usually within a week of the last exam paper in the relevant subject in the exam series Best wishes Gillian Gillian Russell Head of Exams and Assessment Kingston College D: 020 8268 2893 Visit Our Website<http://www.kingston-college.ac.uk> Contact Us<http://www.kingston-college.ac.uk/contact> From: The FE Exams Network mailing list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Sally Graham Sent: 05 January 2017 13:03 To: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: Special Consideration Policy Thanks Shirley I have it on my list to do..
