Circumstances that are eligible:
Temporary Provisions apply for students who have sudden, short term conditions that occur during the exam period and disrupt your exams. This includes sudden onset medical conditions (broken limb, pregnancy, sight impairment, etc).
Please note that any temporary provisions agreed for either online or onsite exams will ONLY apply to the exam period in which provisions are requested, and ONLY to assessments that are 24 hours or less in duration. If you have ongoing long-term conditions that may impact you in future exams, we recommend that you contact the Disability or Wellbeing Services to discuss long term provisions to support you in future.
Steps to complete a Temporary Provision request for ONSITE, IN-PERSON exams:
1. To request Temporary Provisions, please email the MyUniHub Team via myunihub@swansea.ac.uk for guidance.
2. Provide supporting evidence: Outside supporting evidence is required if requesting Temporary Provisions, and your request will not be reviewed until you have provided supporting evidence. When contacting MyUniHub about your Temporary Provisions request, please also provide any supporting evidence you have to confirm your circumstances.
If you are not able to submit your evidence at the same time as your request, then please email MyUniHub via myunihub@swansea.ac.uk with your evidence as soon as possible.
3. Confirm provisions: If the request is approved, the MyUni Hub team will discuss what provisions will be possible for your onsite exams.
Steps to complete a Temporary Provision request for ONLINE exams:
1. To request Temporary Provisions, please complete the online Temporary Provisions of Exams form, provide supporting evidence via your form. Outside supporting evidence is required if requesting Temporary Provisions, and we will not be able to review your request until we have received supporting evidence.
2. Provide supporting evidence: Outside supporting evidence is required if requesting Temporary Provisions, and we will not be able to review your request until we have received supporting evidence. When submitting Temporary Provisions request, please also upload any supporting evidence you have to confirm your circumstances.
If you are not able to submit your evidence at the same time as your request, then please email the Student Experience and Information Team via StudentSupport-ScienceEngineering@swansea.ac.uk with your evidence as soon as possible.
3. Confirm provisions: If the request is approved, the Faculty will discuss what provisions will be appropriate (either 25% Extra time, and/or possibly pre-booked Library PC spaces during the assessment period if available). If Extra Time is agreed, the release date and time for each eligible assessment will remain the same as originally timetabled, but your submission deadline will be adjusted to allow for the additional time provisions.
Important considerations and timing:
- Please note that Extra Time may not be possible on short-notice, and we may require up to 2 working-days notice to put provisions in place once the request has been processed and approved. We will email your student email account to confirm which assessments will have provisions in place.
- Please also note that for online provisions, Library PC spaces may not be available, and again we will need to consult with the Library Team for this.
- If the provisions that you need are not available, or if you do not feel that these provisions will be sufficient, then you will need to consider deferral instead.
