Extenuating circumstances

If you miss an assessment, or if you believe your assessment was affected by extenuating circumstances (EC), you will need to complete and submit an Extenuating Circumstances Form through NottinghamHub.

You may submit your EC application by following the steps below:

1. Log in to NottinghamHub using your university credentials.
2. Click on the “Academic Support” tile.
3. Use the navigation pane on the left-hand side of the screen and select “Extenuating Circumstances”.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete and submit the form.

The deadlines for EC claim submissions are:

• Coursework EC claims must be submitted before the original coursework deadline.
• Exam EC claims would ideally be submitted before the scheduled exam begins. They must be submitted no later than five working days after the exam, provided the mark has not yet been released to the student.

Students must submit EC claims within the required timeframes.

You must also provide supporting evidence when submitting the Extenuating Circumstances Form. This may include:

• a medical certificate
• a letter from appropriate medical professional  
• a letter from University Wellbeing Services  
• a written statement about a crime, supported by written evidence from the police
