How should I notify my school of issues that have affected me during the Industrial Action?

The University is making every effort to protect student education and enable students to progress and achieve their awards. Your school will have a record of which modules will have been affected.

If you feel that as a result of the Industrial Action taken in a module you are studying you require an individual adjustment to an assessment (such as an extension to an assignment submission or deferral of your examination etc.), you can submit a Personal Extenuating Circumstance (PEC) form (see this FAQ for further information). There is no requirement to submit documentary evidence for any Industrial Action related PEC request but you must submit a statement to explain the issues you have faced, the impact this has had on your studies and a rationale for the requested adjustment.

Please note that PEC forms are for individual adjustments only – if an issue or disruption is module or programme-wide it will be dealt with within the school and there is no need to submit a PEC to cover this.
