What are the rules for deferral and extenuating circumstances?
If circumstances beyond your control (such as illness) prevent you from completing an exam, you may be able to apply for deferral. If you do not wish to defer an exam but are concerned that exceptional personal circumstances (such as sudden illness or the death of a relative) may affect your performance, you should complete an extenuating circumstances form. Documentary evidence is required for all deferral and extenuating circumstances claims, excluding automatic deferrals, which are only applicable to a few modules. For policy information, forms and details of who to contact regarding deferral and extenuating circumstances, see: • Deferral • Extenuating circumstances .
