Student Handbook 2024/25

12.5. Non-attendance or non-submission EC claim

If you do not submit an assessment by the deadline, this is considered as a fail. However, if you have extenuating circumstances to explain your non-attendance or non-submission, you should submit an EC claim in line with the following procedures.

When submitting your EC claim in MySIS, please select 'non-attendance' (for exams/FAEs/in-class tests/presentations) or 'non-submission' (for essays/dissertations) as the EC Impact and leave the Late Date blank.

If you have an accepted non-attendance or non-submission EC claim for your first attempt at an assessment, you will be permitted another uncapped first attempt at the next available opportunity. You would then still be entitled to a resit attempt should you fail and are also able to apply for extenuating circumstances, should you need to do so. 

If you have an accepted non-attendance or non-submission EC claim for your resit attempt at an assessment, you will be permitted another capped resit attempt at the next available opportunity. You would be able to apply for extenuating circumstances, should you need to do so. 

Please note: Students who have to resit assessments the following academic year due to extenuating circumstances are not entitled to attend lectures or classes of any kind. However, QMplus access is available through the QMplus Archive.
