What happens if I miss an assessment/exam?


It is your responsibility to make appropriate arrangements for attendance, completion, and submission of your assessments. As a student you are expected to complete assessments in the standard sitting/submission 


Should you however miss an assessment (non-invigilated or invigilated) you will need to apply for the Deferred Sitting/Submission via IIE VC Assit, either before or within five (5) working days of the missed assessment.




Please note: 

  1. that a student will be granted no more than two deferment opportunities in any academic year. 
  2. for written assessments under exam conditions the deferred sitting with normally be written within five working days, however, ensure that you check your Programme Assessment Schedule (PAS). 
  3. for non-invigilated assessments, such as projects or assignments if the application is approved, you must submit within five (5) working days of the original due date.  



Should you require any additional support, please feel free to contact your campus Student Relations Specialist (SRS).
