Access to HE Awards Boards
Throughout the academic year, providers will have appropriate procedures in place to deal with late submissions, extenuating circumstances (where additional time is given to complete an assessment) and resubmissions at course level. For exceptional cases, it may be necessary to apply for special cases and appeals at final moderation and/or the Awards Board at the end of the academic year.
The following forms can be completed by the Access Coordinator and designated staff to request extensions beyond Final Moderation or changes to learners' results. In addition to the forms, supporting evidence is required in order that the Awards Board can make an informed decision.

Appeals guidance - for learners

In 2020-21, there are additional arrangements in place to support learners with extenuating circumstances. Guidance and associated forms for these processes can be found in the tutor resource area.
