On Medical or Compassionate Grounds
Before the exam: Students with an illness and/or exceptional personal circumstances must submit their application for supplementary assessment to their School or Faculty no later than 7 working days after the occurrence of the condition, illness and/or exceptional personal circumstances, which form the grounds on which their application is made, regardless of the date of the exam. Students are advised to refer to the 最新糖心Vlog’s website and policy on supplementary examinations:
On the day of the exam: Students with an illness and/or exceptional personal circumstances on the day of the primary exam must notify an examination supervisor and apply for a supplementary exam within 5 working days of the date of the primary exam.

On Academic Grounds
Supplementary examinations will be offered to students on academic grounds, on a final grade of between 45% and 49%. Those sitting supplementary examinations on academic grounds will be required to achieve a grade of at least 50% in the supplementary examination to pass the course. Successful completion of supplementary examinations offered on this basis can only result in a final mark for the course of 50%.

The Human Reproductive Health III course committee will make the final decision regarding the offer of a replacement exam. Sitting a replacement examination offered on this basis will result in a formal mark being awarded.

Workshop participation and peer assessment was added to course grading from 2012 in response to course SELT feedback, so that student preparation and contributions to group learning are recognised in overall assessment.
