Request Extenuating Circumstances Claim Form
For submission deadlines and further information please see: Extenuating Circumstances.
The Advice Zone are currently experiencing a very high volume of queries. Please be assured that the team are doing everything possible to respond to queries as quickly as possible and within five working days.
If you have submitted an extenuating circumstances claim for an extension of an assessment deadline, you should continue with your work and submit on the date you have requested (and as per extension periods permit). Please do not wait for the outcome of your claim as any extension granted will be from the original submission date, not the date that you receive the outcome.
Please ensure that your extenuating circumstances claim form is completed fully and supported by independent evidence as required.
