K. Mitigating Circumstances Notices to Examiners

The University's policy on the use of medical and other certificates is available at https://academic.admin.ox.ac.uk/mitigating-circumstances#collapse2154556.

As Part B is part of a multi-part examination there may be two sets of mitigating circumstances notices for the examiners to consider, notices submitted to the final meeting of the Part A examiners and notices submitted to the final meeting of the Part B examiners. The Part A examiners will pass on a notice submitted at Part A, along with a note of the any action taken.  The Part B examiners can take the evidence submitted at Part A into account when classifying a candidate. However they should note that the Part A USMs cannot be altered at this stage, so in order to take such evidence into account the Part B examiners may have to suspend the examining conventions when awarding a classification.
