Cohort adverse circumstances

Reporting adverse circumstances

If you experience adverse group circumstances, such as an incident affecting an exam, UWE Bristol has the authority to consider their potential impact and take action if appropriate to do so.

If you feel that you have experienced adverse group circumstances, please provide details in writing to the module leader as soon as possible following the incident occurring and before marks are confirmed.

The module leader will discuss the circumstances with senior academic staff within your School and if appropriate to do so, also with the external examiner for the module. You will be advised of the outcomes of the discussions and any decisions made.

Adverse circumstances which can be dealt with through other policies or procedures

In some instances where there is a known material irregularity affecting an individual or student group or an acknowledged exceptional incident such as the death of a student or a critical systems failure, the university will proactively consider the circumstances and take action, advising students of the outcome.

In such cases, there will be no requirement for you to make your exceptional removal of a mark submission.
