10. Alternative Examination Arrangements and Mitigating Circumstances Notices to Examiners

A candidate in any University Examination with specific learning difficulties or disability/illness may apply through the Senior Tutor of their college for alternative examination arrangements relating to their condition.  Please see http://www.ox.ac.uk/students/academic/exams/arrangements for further information on the process.

Candidates who would like the examiners to be aware of any mitigating circumstances that may have affected their performance before or during an examination are advised to discuss their circumstances with their college and consult the Examination Regulations (Part 13) [see https://examregs.admin.ox.ac.uk/Regulation?code=rftcoue-p13mcntoexam]. Students should then submit a Mitigating Circumstances Notice to Examiners through Student Self-Service and this will be forwarded to the relevant chair of examiners.

 A candidate’s final outcome will first be considered using the classification rules/final outcome rules as described above. The exam board will then consider any further information they have on individual circumstances.
