A special consideration form is not guaranteed.
Start my CQU consultCQU's rules don't mention telehealth. A certificate is judged on what it states and who issued it.
CQU publishes how to apply on its own page, linked below.
Within fourteen months of the date the unit was withdrawn, or of the census date for a unit that was not withdrawn. See a doctor the day you are unwell, not after the deadline.
CQU's Consideration of Special Circumstances Policy and Procedure asks for a professional practitioner certificate or medical certificate from a registered health practitioner and does not address how the consultation took place. Modality is not a listed test; what the document states about your circumstances and their timing is.
That it comes from a registered health practitioner, with their name, registration and practice contact details. The dates you were seen and the period the condition affected you.
Supporting documentation must be attached before the application can be assessed. An application lodged without evidence waits. The timing of the impact is the test, not just the illness. CQU is looking for circumstances whose full effect landed on or after the census date, or whose magnitude only became clear afterwards.
Deadlines, portals and evidence rules at CQU, from its published policy.
Start my CQU consultCQU's published procedure does not address telehealth or online certificates. It asks for a professional practitioner certificate or medical certificate from a registered health practitioner, and assesses what the document says about your circumstances and their timing.
Fourteen months. The window runs from the date you withdrew from the unit, or from the census date for the term in which the unit was, or was to be, undertaken if you did not withdraw.
Before the census date you can simply withdraw without academic or financial penalty. After it, you apply for consideration of special circumstances and show that your circumstances were beyond your control and made it impracticable to complete the unit.
Independent documentation that shows both the circumstance and its timing. For medical grounds that is typically a certificate or report from a registered health practitioner giving the dates of treatment and explaining how the condition affected your capacity to study. Applications are not assessed until the evidence is attached.
Yes. The process is available whether you failed the unit or withdrew from it late, provided you apply within the fourteen month window and can show the circumstances made it impracticable to complete the unit's requirements.
CQU's process, in the order it happens.
A real-time special consideration consult. Tell the doctor the exam or due date; the certificate covers those dates.
Within fourteen months of the date the unit was withdrawn, or of the census date for a unit that was not withdrawn.
The medical certificate after a real-time doctor call.
CQU may contact the practice to confirm the consultation. The link on each document answers that.
What the certificate must state, and what gets it refused.
That it comes from a registered health practitioner, with their name, registration and practice contact details. The dates you were seen and the period the condition affected you. When the condition made its full impact, so CQU can see it fell on or after the census date. How the condition affected your capacity to study and complete the unit.
Supporting documentation must be attached before the application can be assessed. An application lodged without evidence waits. The timing of the impact is the test, not just the illness. CQU is looking for circumstances whose full effect landed on or after the census date, or whose magnitude only became clear afterwards. One application covers the academic and the financial side of the same unit, so the evidence needs to describe the whole period you were unable to continue. A certificate that only records a single day of illness rarely supports a fourteen month application. Ask the practitioner to describe the period and its effect on your study.
One outcomes, one application, the same evidence.
This is CQU's process for circumstances beyond your control that made it impracticable to complete a unit. The circumstances must not have made their full impact until on or after the census date, or their magnitude must only have become apparent after it.
Sorted within the day. A real-time consult with a registered doctor, then the certificate CQU asks you to attach.
