Extenuating Circumstances Form

Extenuating Circumstances (EC) are defined in the Al-Salam Institute regulations as circumstances that are unforeseen and outside your control and which can be shown to have had a direct and substantial impact on your academic results. This may include an impact on the capacity to study prior to an assessment, on the ability to complete an assessment, and/or on performance during an assessment.

Guidance and Criteria

Your statement will be judged by the Al-Salam Institute EC Panel who will make a decision whether you will be allowed additional time to complete your assignment or an opportunity to resit your exams at a later date. The decision will be at the discretion of the EC Panel only.

The Extenuating Circumstances Panel needs to judge whether your circumstances were:

- Unforeseen
- Outside your control
- Were likely, on balance, to have had a direct and substantial impact on your ability to complete an assignment or sit an exam.

Examples of acceptable Extenuating Circumstances:

- Serious short term illness
- Bereavement
- Adverse personal or family circumstances
- Worsening of a long term health condition
- Serious personal injury
- Being the victim of a serious crime
