Adjustment to Assessment/Examination Arrangements
This section provides advice and guidance on what you need to do should you require any adjustments to milestone assessments and for the final viva examination
Students with a disability may apply for reasonable adjustments to study at any point from offer of a place to submission of thesis. Colleges and departments encourage students to disclose disabilities as early as possible to facilitate the provision of appropriate support and adjustments. A wide range of individual adjustments and support is available for research students to help remove barriers that have an impact on their studies.
Research students who have a physical or mental impairment may additionally apply for alternative arrangements to research degree assessments, which include interviews, presentations and oral examinations for transfer of status, confirmation of status, and the final viva voce examination as detailed in the General Regulations Governing Research Degrees (§ 6 – Students with Disabilities).
What forms do I need to complete to apply for any adjustments to my studies?
To apply for adjustments, complete the GSO.19 form Application for Adjustments to Assessment Arrangements. Full details of the process for applying for adjustments can be found in the GSO.19c.
