Programme extensions & termination

A programme extension can be recommended where a student cannot complete the programme within a normal timescale because of exceptional circumstances. If you find yourself in this situation, talk to your supervisor.

In some circumstances the Board of Studies can recommend that your programme is ended before its normal end date. This may be due to reasons such as poor attendance (without good reason) or through having failed so much of the programme that it is no longer possible to graduate.

The University website provides further information on programme extensions and termination.

Also, see the Exceptional Circumstances section of the handbook for any other circumstances which may affect you undertaking any assessments.
