Special consideration

Overview

Macquarie University recognises you may experience events or conditions that adversely affect your academic performance.

Before you apply

Here are some things to be mindful of before applying for Special Consideration.

• Applications must be submitted no later than five (5) working days after the assessment task due date.
• All applications require supporting documentation.
• You can update your open application or add documents to your existing application – no need to create a new application.

To be eligible you must:

• have been impacted by short term, serious and unavoidable circumstances
• have at least one specific assessment task affected
• provide supporting documentation that demonstrates how your disruption is serious and unavoidable, and clearly identifies the dates or duration of the disruption.

Quick tip: If your circumstances have had a longer-term impact on your studies, consider Withdrawal Without Penalty.
