Family Emergency Procedure

Guys, does anyone know if there is a certain approach to students who have just gotten urgent family news? I'd really like to be with my family over the next few days so would I just have to repeat next year?

Your school needs to contact Reasonable Accommodations - if there has been a bereavement and there's a funeral you need to attend, they can have you start an exam at 7am (for example) the day of the funeral. Otherwise you will need to sit the exam(s) next year.

Reasonable Accommodations:
Email: sec.specialneeds@examinations.ie
Phone: 090-6442781, 6442783
Fax: 090-6442744

It's possible there is someone in Reasonable Accommodations during the weekend. The SEC in Athlone is almost a 24 hour operation during June.

Thanks Spurious! I may, unfortunately, need this.

Try ring them today after 12 or so. otherwise, they should be there from 7 tomorrow morning.
There are supervisors on standby all over the country to do this sort of emergency supervision.
