A special consideration form is not guaranteed.
Start my Divinity consultDivinity's rules don't mention telehealth. A certificate is judged on what it states and who issued it.
Applications go through Your affiliated college registrar.
No fixed window is published. Apply as soon as an assessment is affected.
The University of Divinity's Assessment Procedure does not address consultation modality, and does not specify what supporting documentation an extension request needs. Its extension form lists a medical certificate or statutory declaration as the evidence.
The date you were seen and the period you were affected. That the illness prevented you completing the assessment by its due date.
Extension requests go through your affiliated college, the college that delivers your course, rather than a central university portal. The evidence named on the extension form is a medical certificate or a statutory declaration. There is no practitioner form to have completed.
Deadlines, portals and evidence rules at Divinity, from its published policy.
Start my Divinity consultThe University of Divinity's published assessment material does not address consultation modality, and does not detail supporting documentation requirements. Its extension form names a medical certificate or statutory declaration as the evidence. Check with your college registrar if you are unsure.
It is the extension used when you need time beyond the end of the exam period. Extensions during semester, before the due date, are Lecturer's Extensions instead. Each has its own request form on the University's forms page.
The University does not publish a fixed post-assessment window. A Lecturer's Extension is requested before the assessment due date, and a Dean's Extension covers time beyond the exam period. Lodge the request as early as you can.
The Assessment Policy applies a graduated penalty. Up to twenty four hours is at the lecturer's discretion, one to seven days attracts ten per cent, one to two weeks twenty per cent, two to three weeks thirty per cent, and three to four weeks forty per cent.
With your affiliated college, the college that delivers your course, rather than a central university portal. The college registrar is the contact for what evidence they expect with the form.
Divinity'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.
Follow Divinity's published process, linked above.
The medical certificate after a real-time doctor call.
Divinity 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.
The date you were seen and the period you were affected. That the illness prevented you completing the assessment by its due date. That the circumstances were unforeseen, which is the ground the policy sets. The practitioner's name, registration number, practice details and signature.
Extension requests go through your affiliated college, the college that delivers your course, rather than a central university portal. The evidence named on the extension form is a medical certificate or a statutory declaration. There is no practitioner form to have completed. Late work without an approved extension attracts a graduated penalty: ten per cent from one to seven days, rising to forty per cent at three to four weeks. The certificate should be dated on the day of the consultation and cover the due date, because the policy turns on the circumstances being unforeseen at that time.
Three outcomes, one application, the same evidence.
This is the extension to request during semester, before the assessment due date. It is the right route for an illness that has delayed a piece of work you can still finish.
A Dean's Extension is for time beyond the end of the exam period, which is outside a lecturer's authority to grant. It uses its own form and goes to your college.
Work handed in after the due date without an approved extension is penalised on a sliding scale, from ten per cent in the first week to forty per cent at three to four weeks. An approved extension is what prevents the penalty, so the request is worth lodging even when the delay is short.
Sorted within the day. A real-time consult with a registered doctor, then the certificate Divinity asks you to attach.
