Extensions are normally only granted if there are exceptional circumstances affecting your study, which you can substantiate with supporting documentation. To apply for an extension you need to:
- Submit an application for Exceptional Variation of Assessment (EVA) (previously known as Special Consideration) no later than three calendar days after the assessment is due date or class missed); and
- Attach supporting documents or evidence. For example, a medical certificate.
Your application and supporting documentation will be treated confidentially.
Full details on Exceptional Variation of Assessment (EVA), including eligibility criteria is published online on the UWA Exceptional Variation of Assessment (EVA) webpage.
