If your studies or assessments are affected by unforeseen circumstances, there are options available to support you.

We know things don't always go as planned, but it can be difficult to know what to do when your ability to attend teaching, sit examinations or submit assessments is affected by challenging personal circumstances that are outside of your control. In all circumstances, it's best to forewarn your Programme Team about any potential problems that may affect your studies, by getting in touch with them or arranging a meeting. However, the following options are also available to students:

A coursework extension is permission to hand in an assessment after the published deadline without either incurring a penalty or waiting to retake  an alternative assessment as a referred or deferred student. Students must follow the process identitied within their programme information to apply for a coursework extension and, if accepted, an extension could be granted of up to 7 calendar days. It's not always possible for extensions to be granted, so it's always best to speak directly with your Programme Team.

Exceptional Circumstances can be applied for if circumstances outside of your control are impacting your ability to perform in assessments or submissions by the given deadline. An exceptional circumstances request, if approved, delays a submission until the next assessment period and is likely to require you to submit a different piece of work from the one you are working on. Exceptional circumstances requests must be submitted no more than fifteen (15) working days after the assessment submission date and at least five (5) working days before the Board of Examiners. Exceptional Circumstances submissions are made via your Student Record and full guidance is provided about the process on Ask Herts .

NOTE - An Exceptional Circumstances request can only be considered if you have not already submitted your assessment or sat your exam. If you have submitted/sat your assessment, please see the guidance about the University's Fit to Sit Policy  here .  

A "Fit to Sit" exemption request can support a student who was affected by challenging medical or health-related circumstances at the time of an assessment but was not able to submit exceptional circumstances or to apply for a coursework extension; or they had sat or submitted the assessment but, based upon medical opinion, were not well enough to do so. The University operates a ‘fit to sit’ policy so if you decide to sit or submit an assessment, the University will not normally accept a claim that you had Exceptional Circumstances with regard to the assessment (See UPR AS14 Section C.3.8.4). However, the following two circumstances are considered to be exceptions to C3.8.4: 

• (i)  where, at the time of sitting or submitting the assessment concerned, the student was not capable of understanding that their performance was likely to be affected seriously by ill health and/or its treatment and this view has the written support from a psychiatrist or mental health practitioner who has been treating the student over a period of time. A GP may also give support if they are aware of (a) treatment or referrals to such specialists (b) an incident close to the assessment date that may have temporarily affected the student’s capacity to take decisions.  

Requests based on exception (i), must be made by a student via their  Student Portal  using the submit request function within fifteen (15) working days of the assessment submission date.   

• (ii) where a student suddenly becomes unwell during an examination or in-class test and elects to leave without completing the assessment. Where the assessment is invigilated, before leaving the examination room, the student must notify the Invigilator or Proctor of the Exceptional Circumstances which have necessitated their leaving the examination or test.   

Requests based on exception (ii), must be made by a student via their  Student Portal  by midnight on the calendar day after the on-line assessment. By submitting a request based on exception (ii), a student renders their original attempt null and void.   

A student would need to make arrangements for a medical practitioner to complete the Exemption from Fit-to-Sit form , for submission to [email protected]   within 30 calendar days.  

An academic appeal is a request for a review of an assessment decision; appeals can be submitted under specific grounds, once results have been ratified by the Board of Examiners, within 10 working days of results being released.

Since we're a separate organisation to the University (Hertfordshire Students' Union is a registered charity), we are the only place you can receive truly independent and impartial advice and information about the university's academic procedures and regulations. We're available from Monday to Friday (10:00-16:00) all year round with the exception of bank holidays and University/SU close days. If you'd like to chat to a member of the team about your options, please request an appointment by submitting our  online request form  or email  [email protected] . We can offer advice on campus, by email, over the phone or on a video call.

Helen scholes.

Community Nurse

Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust

Sarah Sesay

St George’s University Hospital

Community Nurse at Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust

Meet Helen, who decided to change career after two decades in the police. After overcoming significant challenges with help from her tutors and friends at Herts, Helen is now a Community Nurse with ambitions to become a Sister.

A career change

Helen spent over two decades in the police as a dispatcher and special constable before deciding to retrain. Helen’s experience in the police had taught her many transferable skills, including how to manage difficult and emotional situations, which made her an excellent fit for a career in healthcare.

‘I became a reablement carer, spending three years at a local company helping people get back to normal and keep their independence after a stay in hospital. I wanted to do more to help older people and those with learning difficulties though, so I began working for an out-of-hours GP service, where I was responsible for managing medication and acting as a chaperone. My colleagues were very supportive of my development, and this experience helped me realise my ultimate goal of becoming a nurse.

‘Unfortunately, I had left school without A-levels, which meant I could not apply to study nursing at university. I completed an access course at my local college but had missed the university application deadline, so decided to try my luck with Clearing. I was fortunate enough to be offered a place at Herts and accepted immediately - I had heard great things about Herts and my daughter had graduated from here in another discipline.’

Conquering unexpected challenges

Not long after Helen started her BSc Nursing (Adult) degree at Herts, she began to experience similar challenges that led to her leaving school before completing her A-levels.

‘I knew I was intelligent, but my reading speed and other things were holding me back. I was assessed by the University’s wellbeing service and found out that I had both dyslexia and dyspraxia. Despite my diagnosis, the support I received from Herts was outstanding and I could not have completed my course without the encouragement of my tutors.

‘I also owe a debt of gratitude to the friends I met on the course. Being much older than many of my cohort, I was worried I would find it difficult to meet people, but that was not the case at all. We all helped one another, whether we were struggling or needed company during a study session.’

Proudest moment and future aspirations

Helen has fond memories of Herts and says her proudest moment was giving a speech at graduation as the ‘top scoring student’.

‘I would never have imagined doing this at the start of my course. Herts has made my dreams come true.

‘I’ve just had my first appraisal in my current role and my manager has recommended I apply for a promotion. Hopefully, it won’t be long before I become a Sister. I’m also looking forward to completing my district nursing and prescribing courses at Herts in the future.’

Nurse at St George’s University Hospital

Meet Sarah Sesay, a newly qualified nurse who has landed her dream job and plans to further her career as a specialist in infection prevention and control.

Pathway into nursing

Sarah is a newly qualified nurse working in the Acute Medical Unit (AMU) at St George’s University Hospital in London. She was the first person in her immediate family to go to university and was so proud to be awarded a first.

Sarah first completed a BTEC course at college and then progressed to do her BSc at Herts. She now has her dream job as a registered nurse in the AMU department and plans to return to further study in future to become a specialised nurse in infection prevention and control, a specialism she particularly enjoys.

Nursing at Herts

Sarah says, ‘My studies at Herts have helped shape my career path by offering me different types of support, both theoretical and in clinical practice. There were always drop-in sessions for help with writing assignments and finding resources.

‘Herts lecturers are experts in research and are always willing to provide that extra support whenever needed. Also, the simulation sessions really helped me to prepare for placement. One of the most useful clinical simulation sessions that I attended was caring for a dying patient, and I am very grateful I was able to experience it.’

‘My favourite experience at Herts was finding friends for life. We all managed to complete the course together and we are all now registered nurses in different Trusts. I can call upon our shared experiences if I need to.’

‘My advice for current and future students is to start assignments as soon as you can. The sooner you start them, the better chance you’ll have to pass and get good grades!’

What you'll study

Degree programmes are structured into levels, 4, 5 and 6. These correspond to your first, second and third/final year of study. Below you can see what modules you’ll be studying in each.

You’ll spend 50% of your time at the University. You’ll attend lectures building your knowledge on things like how you will provide a holistic assessment care plan, considering a person’s mental, emotional and physical wellbeing. You can then share your learnings in smaller groups in seminars and tutorials. You will be asked to look at case studies, individually or in a small group. Plus, you can put what you have learnt into practise, using our simulation laboratories.

You’ll spend 50% of your time in a range of placements across the three years of your study and will work alongside qualified health care practitioners.

Practice placements are organised within neighbouring NHS Trusts in Hertfordshire, and North London and in other settings including the private and voluntary sectors. There is the opportunity to learn with and from people in the community and in hospitals where nursing is experienced. The placement experiences are wide and varied, emphasising the chosen field of practice - Adult Nursing. During the first year, experiences may also include caring for children, service users with learning disabilities or those with mental health problems.

A student-led placement is offered at the end of the second year which gives you the opportunity to gain clinical experience in an area of practice you are interested in.

COVID-19 conditions permitting, a student-led placement is offered at the end of the second year which gives you the opportunity to gain clinical experience in an area of practice you are interested in.

In your first year, we will introduce you to the profession, right from basics. You’ll explore health and wellbeing clinically and within social, political and economic contexts. You’ll practice, challenge, question, and refine current nursing skills through simulation and practical exercises.

In your second year, you’ll further advance your knowledge. You’ll look at bioscience changes and pharmacological aspects of health and wellbeing. You’ll discuss, interpret and plan care for patients who may be experiencing different physical and psychological symptoms.

In your final year, you’ll find that you have grown to love certain topics. In this year you can delve deeper in these areas. This could be socio-political issues that impact effective nursing practises. Or this could be how spiritual, psychosocial, cultural and emotional aspects can affect how patients receive care. It’s entirely up to you.
