What does mitigating mean for me and how can I do it?
If you are experiencing unforeseen difficulties around the time of your submission, you can apply for a mitigation. A mitigation can cover circumstances including, but not limited to physical and mental ill health or bereavement.
Applying for an extension is simple, all you need to do is complete the online extension form. Or you can fill in form M and submit it to: mitigationapplications@uwl.ac.uk, alternatively you can follow the link here.
A successful mitigation will allow for you to resist the work at the next available opportunity without being capped at a pass mark
Can I self-certify for a mitigation?
Yes, if you apply for a mitigation before the deadline and you did not apply for a self-certified extension, you can self-certify for a mitigation.
This means you will not need evidence.
What do I do if I have not passed my assignment or I have not submitted my assignment?
If you feel that your result was due to your personal circumstances after the event, then you can apply for mitigation
You are only able to apply for mitigation for a failed assessment.
You can apply for mitigation by filling in a form and submitted it to: mitigationapplications@uwl.ac.uk
You will need to provide evidence of your personal circumstances during the time you were submitting your assignment
If your mitigation is accepted, then you will need to contact your module leader for a new submission date.
