Repeat/Deferred Exams or Other Assessment Types

DEFERRAL OF EXAMINATIONS

**2022/2023 EXAMINATION DEFERRAL – ***CLOSING DATE FOR SEMESTER 1 EXAM DEFERRAL IS 5P.M. ON JANUARY 18TH***

A student may request a deferral of an examination sitting in the academic year 2022/2023.

The submission of third party documentation to support the application (i.e. medical certification) or self-certification (i.e. an outline of how illness/circumstances detailed in the deferral application has effected their exam/assessment) must be uploaded as part of the application.

A student may request a deferral of an examination sitting or submission of a final assessment due to a sudden unavoidable event that prevents them from being present at an exam centre or submitting a final assessment when it falls due.

It applies for the following reasons:

a) Bereavement
b) Accident
c) Illness
d) Other personal disruption

Deferrals must be submitted within four days of the last timetabled exam. Deferrals may be accepted online but will NOT be considered after the forth day.

  • The submission of third party substantiating evidence is mandatory and must be in date.
    ( E.g. Medical certs must be current and date stamped by G.P.)
  • You must list every individual module you are requesting an exam deferral for and ensure that you have the correct module code and module title listed.
  • You will automatically be registered to complete a deferred exam or submit a final assessment at the next available sitting by the Examinations Office.
  • If you are unable to take a deferred exam or submit a final piece of work, for a valid reason, at the next available sitting you must apply again though this deferral system. If your application is unsuccessful you must email examinations.sligo@nullatu.ie if you wish to register for a repeat.
  • A deferral for a booked holiday will not be considered as the dates of the exam periods are published at the beginning of the academic year and are available on our academic calendar.
  • Please note that only those exam deferral applications which are complete will be considered by the Deferral Committee and it is important to note that not all deferral applications are approved so consideration needs to be given to the consequences of an application not being approved.

Please note that the online deferral form will be disabled and no longer accept submissions at the close of business on fourth day after the last timetabled exam. In exceptional circumstances you may contact your Head of Dept for deferral consideration.
