Illness

If you are unwell you should go to the Health Centre on campus and ask to be registered as unwell. You may need to prove your condition at a later date. If for any circumstance whatsoever you consider yourself unable to take the exam you MUST advise your school at the earliest possible opportunity AND before the exam is due to start. You may then be eligible for a delayed first sit in August.
