Revision Nightmares

Things don’t always go to plan around exams, but don’t worry we’re here to help. 

Extenuating circumstances

If circumstances outside your control are impacting on your ability to study or complete assessments to your usual ability, you can let the University know by reporting Extenuating Circumstances. The University's Extenuating Circumstances policy has changed in the 22/23 Academic Year, and so it is important that you know what these changes might mean for you in any declarations you submit.

Very importantly, if you have extenuating circumstances, the University expects you to report them straight away, unless you have a very good reason for not doing so. You can find some more information about the University's Extenuating Circumstances Procedure, what you need to do and the remedies available by checking this page and getting in touch with

Hunllefau Adolygu

Nid yw pethau o hyd yn mynd yn dda o gwmpas yr arholiadau, ond rydym ni yma i helpu.

Mae’n bwysig iawn nodi, os oes gennych amgylchiadau esgusodol, mae’r Brifysgol yn disgwyl i chi roi gwybod amdanynt ar unwaith, oni bai bod gennych reswm da iawn dros beidio â gwneud hynny. Gallwch ddod o hyd i ragor o wybodaeth am Weithdrefn Amgylchiadau Esgusodol y Brifysgol, yr hyn sydd angen i chi ei wneud a'r atebion sydd ar gael trwy edrych ary dudalen hon a chysylltu â Chyngor i Fyfyrwyr.
