Divinity's evidence, from a doctor who actually assesses you.
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.

What Divinity asks for
Divinity has no practitioner section. The certificate carries the doctor's opinion, so what it states is what decides the outcome.
What the same evidence is for
Students search for these by name. Divinity treats them as one process with different outcomes.
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 dated medical certificate covering the due date supports the request.
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. The grounds are the same unforeseen circumstances, but the reach is longer.
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.
How to apply at Divinity
See a doctor while you are unwell, and tell them the assessment due date so the certificate covers it.
Check whether you need more time during semester or beyond the end of the exam period. The first is a Lecturer's Extension, the second a Dean's Extension.
Download the matching extension request form from the University of Divinity forms page.
Complete the form, describing the unforeseen circumstances, and attach the medical certificate or a statutory declaration.
Submit it to your affiliated college before the due date, or as soon as practical, so a late submission penalty does not start accruing.

Divinity questions
Answers reflect Divinity's published policy on 16 Sept 2026. Divinity decides what it accepts.
The 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.
