It is recommended that you use a font and text size that are legible and easy to read for your essay. If you are still unsure as to what to use, please speak to your Course Leader for advice. If you'd like more information on style and presentation - you may wish to read the Study Skills Plus guide on Formatting your Assignment  for more information.

Exceptional Circumstances (formally Mitigation)

While studying at ARU you may find that an unexpected major event has affected your performance in an assessment or exam. This may include a sudden illness, bereavement or the illness of a close family member. This event may also have prevented you from submitting work. The university has a formal process to inform them of these events - Exceptional Circumstances.

If you are facing a problem that will impact on your work we recommend informing the university early. If your deadline has not yet passed you may be able to request an extension.

You can find more information from the Academic Registry,the form you will need to complete and information on how to submit your form here

Grounds for Exceptional Circumstances

The following will be considered for Exceptional Circumstances. Evidence will be required:

•   A serious personal illness which is not a permanent condition

•   The death, or serious illness, of a close family member, a friend or person for whom you have responsibility of care

•   Sudden or unforeseen circumstances beyond your reasonable control.

The following will not be considered for exceptional circumstances:

•  Family, work, financial or other general problems that could have been anticipated

•   Ignorance of the Academic Regulations

•    Ignorance of, or misunderstanding, submission deadlines or examination dates

•    Computer, disc, printer or any other technical failure for which you are responsible (you are required to keep a copy of your work).

How to submit a claim for Exceptional Circumstances and Late Exceptional Circumstances

You will need to complete the Exceptional Circumstances claim form and return it by email. The deadline for on time forms is five working days after the submission date for the assessment and / or the date on which an exam has been set. If your claim is on time we recommend that you speak to one of the University’s Student Advisers before submitting it. They will ensure you are following the correct process and understand the implications on your progression. They can also check your evidence to ensure it is relevant to submit with your Exceptional Circumstances form. Your evidence should be relevant and timely, such as a letter from a professional e.g doctor, solicitor or therapist, or in the case of a death of a close family member a death certificate or a funeral order of service. 

Late Claims - if your claim is submitted more than 5 working days after your assessment/ exam deadline you can submit your form late, however you will need to provide an acceptable explanation (with supporting evidence) for why the claim was not submitted within the 5 working days’ time limit. Please speak to a Students’ Union Adviser before submitting a Late Exceptional Circumstances claim so they can check you are following the correct process, understand the implications on your progression and check your evidence of lateness and the reason for applying.

You can find more information from the Academic Registry on Exceptional Circumstances and Late Exceptional Circumstances, the form to fill in and how to submit your form here

What happens after I submit my Exceptional Circumstances or Late Exceptional Circumstances form?

Once you submit your Exceptional Circumstances form and your evidence to the academic registry your claim is then heard at an Exceptional Circumstances Panel, these happen several times throughout the academic year. The panel is made up of University staff such as Director of Studies, Academic Registrar and a manager from Student Services. The panel will discuss your claim and look at the supporting evidence to decide if the claim is justified or not. The panel is closed and confidential.

If your reasons for submitting a claim are of a sensitive nature, and you do not want your personal information and situation being shared in a panel setting, you can request that it is seen only by the Academic Registrar. The University’s Student Advisers or Student Union Advisers can help you make this decision and request on your behalf if needed.

How will I know the results of my Exceptional Circumstances or Late Exceptional Circumstances claim?

The outcome of your claim will appear on your eVision , please keep an eye out after you have submitted your forms and evidence.  The element(s) of the module that you have submitted a claim about will show the relevant outcomes next to the module information as your claim is processed e.g:

Submitted (awaiting outcome)

Deferred (e.g: awaiting further evidence or information)

Rejected, No evidence received to support claim

Rejected, Evidence was not time relevant

If you are not sure about the outcome or don’t understand the reasons for your claim being rejected please get in touch with your University Student Adviser or Students Union Adviser.

What are the outcomes of a successful Exceptional Circumstances or Late Exceptional Circumstances claim?

Any mark achieved for the relevant element(s) is annulled

You are required to take either the initial attempt (or the re-assessment attempt) in the mitigated element(s) at a time determined by the University. In certain circumstances you may be required to re-attend the module in order to be assessed in the mitigated element;

The module result will not be capped unless it is a further attempt at the re-assessment attempt following a previous failure.

Things to remember before submitting an Exceptional Circumstances or Late Exceptional Circumstances claim

You are strongly encouraged to seek advice first before submitting an Exceptional Circumstances or Late Exceptional Circumstances claim.

Once submitted you are not able to withdraw an Exceptional Circumstances claim.

You need to be able to provide evidence of what’s happened and to explain the impact on your assessments or exams.

If submitting late you need to be able to provide a reason and evidence of why you are submitting late, as well as the reason and evidence for Exceptional Circumstances.

Your progression to the next level of your studies may be seriously impacted by the results of your Exceptional Circumstances or Late Exceptional Circumstances Claim.

Applications for Assessment Extensions or Extenuating Circumstances

Students may request an Assessment Extension if they are unable to complete an assessment task (other than an exam) by the due date because of exceptional circumstances beyond their control. Exceptional circumstances that may warrant approval for an Assessment Extension include but are not limited to:

• Medical reasons (student injury, illness or medical condition) of such significance that completion of the assessment task was not possible;
• Family/personal reasons (family injury or illness, bereavement) of such significance that completion of the assessment task was not possible;
• Employment related reasons: where a student’s employment status or employment arrangements change unexpectedly due to circumstances beyond their control of such significance that completion of the task was not possible. 

(Source: https://policies.anu.edu.au/ppl/document/ANUP_004604 )

However, if you fit into any one of the below circumstances, you should submit an Extenuating Circumstances Application (ECA) instead: 

• You require more than 10 days’ extension for an assessment item worth more than 20% of the final grade;
• You require extenuating circumstances taken into consideration during the marking of an assessment item that is already submitted (i.e. special consideration); OR
• You need to apply for a deferred examination because you are unable to sit an examination due to extenuating circumstances.
• Assessment extension requests: CBE Assessment Extension Request Form

For more information on the extension request procedure, please see document here . 

• Assessment extension requests (more than 10 days’ extension AND assessment item worth more than 20% of final grade): ECA eForm via ISIS

This Week 1 NFL game will be Tom Brady's first broadcasting assignment

Tom brady will be on the call in week 1., by sanjesh singh • published may 13, 2024.

Tom Brady is returning to NFL stadiums in 2024 -- just in a different capacity.

Brady's first year as FOX's No. 1 NFL analyst begins in the 2024 campaign, and now it's known which game will be his debut in the booth.

That game will be the Cleveland Browns hosting the Dallas Cowboys in Week 1, the third NFL contest announced by the league.

Cowboys at Browns is slated for Sunday, Sept. 8, at 4:25 p.m. ET/1:25 p.m. PT. The Browns rode an elite defense to the playoffs last season with Joe Flacco under center for most of the campaign.

Dallas was the No. 2 seed in the NFC but became the first to lose to a No. 7 seed.
