    I am a final year student who was due to sit his last exam today. However since yesterday morning I have been very sick with a vomiting bug, diarrhoea ( sorry about details) and have had strong migraines since. As a result, I was unable to sit my exam today on advice from my GP.

    I have emailed the chair of law and government who told me that I will have to submit an extenuating circumstances form pending review.

    I am very anxious and worried as I am
    currently on a 2.1 and my previous exams had gone well.
    So I am Just enquiring as to the likelihood of my deferral? And if you know from any past cases that I will be allowed sit my exam as a first attempt in August.

    I think the best for advice on this would be the welfare officer of your student union. I do have reason to believe that your attempt in the summer will be treated as a first attempt.
