Self Isolation

  1. Read the university's guidance on self-isolation:
  2. If you are required to self-isolate, fill in this form and the relevant staff will be informed.

Attendance and Mitigating Circumstances

If something happens that you think will affect your grades (e.g illness/injury/self-isolation etc.) there's a process for recording these things.
Whether quarantining, self-isolating, or not even in the country, you should still be able to access your modules online. If it's not obvious from the module web-page or Moodle page, contact the module organiser directly.

Unusual Options

In theory it is possible to take any module offered by any Department as an ‘unusual’ option, provided any prerequisites have been met and the respective module organiser is in agreement. If you want to take an unusual option:
  1. get approval from the module organiser
  2. complete the unusual option form
