Special Consideration
« on: June 13, 2016, 06:55:31 pm »

Wondering if I could get some advice. Been down with a bout of fairly severe migraines for the past week or so. At times having multiple in a day, which has left me totally unprepared for my exams starting later this week with not being able to revise as it's often left me incapacitated for the majority of the day. On the best day been able to work for around 4ish hours. What is the chance that I'd be successful in applying for special consideration?

If you are just providing a statement about your situation alone - I'd say you probably won't be eligible, I mean, couldn't anyone fake having a migraine? (Not saying that you are). Best option would be to see a doctor that can fill out a HPR form. The university does say that even with a HPR form they can deny special consideration - but I think it comes down to the severity of the illness. Your doctor needs to verify your symptoms and determine you unfit to study and sit the exam.
