Pre-Exam Extenuating circumstances..

plastic-man

So its study week. I've been sick for past 5 days now. been to doctor once, and more than likely again tomorrow. Either bad virus or nasty infection, makes it extremely hard to study let alone wake up at 7am. I've checked the registry procedure and most of the info isn't clear but seems to be the case that you act on it after the exams.

Being as sick as a dog at the moment (more than likely will persist into exam week), what are my options, as I struggle to get a clear answer from the registry website?

Thanks for any help in advance.

You should complete the extenuating circumstances form when you are able to go to UCD. Bring it to your programme office along with a med cert. Email them today and let them you are sick and will be bringing a med cert along with the application form ASAP. You want your circumstances taken into account as it has impacted negatively on your studies. They will update with with exactly what you must do.

This is the policy on extenuating circumstances:
