End-of-semester special consideration

If you are prevented from attending the final examination(s) for any unit(s) due to any of the above acceptable reasons, you may apply for a deferred exam by submitting the end-of-semester special consideration application form to Student Services with supporting documentation, within two working days (48 hours) of your last examination for the semester. 

It is important to note that a student who completes the final examination will not be eligible to apply for special consideration.

Pre-approval

The end-of-semester special consideration application form can now be submitted for pre-approval prior to the scheduled examination. Please submit this form at least 5 days prior to the exam. Applications will be assessed and students notified electronically by Student Services at least 24 hours prior to the exam via their Monash e-mail account.  If you present for the final examinations after being granted a pre-approved deferred examination, the special consideration decision will be revoked, and the mark for the final examination will count towards the mark for the unit. No further special consideration can be lodged for that examination.

Sick on the day

As mentioned, students who sit the final examination will not be eligible to apply for special consideration. However, if you attend the final exam and are unfit to complete due to illness or other acceptable reasons for special consideration you should do the following:

1. Advise the examination invigilator no later than 30 minutes before the scheduled end of the examination that you are unable to complete and intend to apply for special consideration;
2. Complete an Examination Cancellation Request Form (provided by the invigilator) declaring you are unfit to complete the exam and acknowledging that your attempt at the final examination will not be marked;
3. Provide the faculty with an end-of-semester special consideration application form with certified supporting documentation, no later than two working days (48 hours) after the date of your last scheduled examination.

If you do not sit the final examination(s), complete and submit the end-of-semester special consideration application form to Student Services with supporting documentation, within two working days (48 hours) of your last examination for the semester.
