Special Consideration is a provision available to students who encounter significant difficulties in meeting assessment requirements due to various circumstances. These circumstances include serious illness or injury, bereavement of close family members, major political upheaval or natural disasters in the home country, traumatic experiences, or any other compassionate or compelling reason supported by evidence. Students can apply for special consideration at any point during the study period. It's important to note that students do not need to wait until they miss a deadline to apply for special consideration. Applications must be lodged within five working days after the assessment task due date and before the end of the study period.
