Special Consideration and the Final Exam:

If you are unable to sit for the final exam and wish to apply for special consideration, your
application must be lodged online through myUNSW within 3 working days of the assessment (Log
into myUNSW and go to My Student Profile tab > My Student Services channel > Online Services >
Special Consideration). You will then need to submit the originals or certified copies of your
completed Professional Authority form and other supporting documentation to Student Central. For
more information, please study carefully in advance the instructions and conditions at:
https://student.unsw.edu.au/special-consideration.
Please note that there is only one supplementary exam to be held on 9th December you
will need to be available for that date. Supplementary exams will not be held at any other time.
For further details, please refer to the course outline.

ASB Policy on requests for Special Consideration for Final Exams:

The policy of the School of Accounting is that the lecturer-in-charge will need to be satisfied
on each of the following before supporting a request for special consideration:
1. Does the medical certificate contain all relevant information? For a medical certificate to
be accepted, the degree of illness, and impact on the student, must be stated by the medical
practitioner (severe, moderate, mild). A certificate without this will not be valid.
2. Has the student performed satisfactorily in the other assessment items? Satisfactory
performance would require all assessment tasks attempted and a satisfactory result in each
assessment item specified in the Course Outline and meeting the obligation to have
attended 80% of tutorials.
3. Does the student have a history of previous applications for special consideration? A
history of previous applications may preclude a student from being granted special
consideration.

Notification regarding special consideration requests for Final Exams in Business

School undergraduate courses:
If you lodge an application for special consideration for a final examination in a Business
School undergraduate course you will not be notified of the outcome until 7 days prior to the Business
School supplementary exam period, i.e. not until around 2nd December. This is due to these
decisions being made by the Business School Faculty Panel NOT by the lecturer-in-charge (Refer to

Business School Policy in course outline). The Business School UG supplementary exam time period
is 9th 11th December.
Until the Faculty Panel meets and makes a decision, the status of your online application will
remain listed as Application submitted.
Once a decision has been made, you will be notified of the outcome through the online special
consideration system and the status of your application will change to Decision made.
