A diagnosed disability or injury may be experienced differently by students in so far as it affects their completion of academic assessments. Therefore, a list of special arrangements is described which may be employed in varying combinations according to individual need.
Some disabilities present particular and predictable problems in assessment settings.
Attention is drawn to these conditions and specific arrangements are described. They, in turn, will ensure that the relevant information is disseminated to appropriate bodies. General Arrangements 2.1. The Examinations Officer, in consultation with academic departments where necessary , will make every effort to interpret the Code to enable any students suffering from a disability or injury to attempt an assessment. If a student is unable through disability or injury, to be assessed by the normal arrangements specified in the Code, alternative arrangements may be made by the Examinations Officer in consultation with the department concerned.
