Extenuating circumstances

There may be times when problems and difficulties affect your emotional and/or psychological wellbeing.  This, in turn, may be impacting on your academic work.

If you wish your current circumstances to be considered you will need to notify your school, and complete an extenuating circumstances form (EC1).   

This will require evidence (e.g. a letter from a doctor). Usually a counsellor will only be able to offer written evidence for a client who is already accessing ongoing counselling.
