Aegrotats
If you have missed an assessment or you took an exam but it was completed under impaired performance, then you are entitled to apply for an aegrotat (special consideration).
Forms are available at the Central Academic Records Office in the Rakaia Centre, at each Faculty office, and from the Secretary, Academic Board.

- Provide the assessment in alternative formats; eg large font, electronic text.
- Provide reading and/or writing support.
