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 MSA Assist, either before or within five working days of the missed assessment.   


Please note: 

  • that a student will be granted no more than two deferment opportunities in any academic year.  
  • 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). 
  • for non-invigilated assessments, such as projects or assignments if the application is approved, you must submit within 5 working days of the original due date.


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