The regulations on EC claims for First Sits have been changed during the
Coronavirus COVID19 pandemic: any student who does not submit an assessment will automatically be offered a First Sit at the next opportunity. You do not need to submit EC claims for these.
You only need to submit claims for Dissertations, or First Sit or Resit assessments where you want an extension during August, or you would like to ask for the late penalties to be removed from an assignment submitted in August.
You need to make a separate claim for each element of assessment- ie if you need extensions on two essays, you have to make two claims.
During the Coronavirus pandemic, we are waiving the requirement for evidence for your claims. This is because in the UK and elsewhere it is currently difficult to obtain any documentary evidence for medical issues, as well as for other situations. Please be assured that if we can accept your claim, we will.
DISSERTATION DEADLINE EXTENSIONS: Please note that due to a tight turnaround time for marking, we can only offer 1 week's extension on dissertation deadlines.
FIRST SIT AND RESIT coursework is due on 17 August this year. If you need an extension to that deadline, you need to complete this form.School policy for the Late Summer Assessment period is to offer no more than 10 days’ extension to this deadline, so if you are asking for an extension on a First Sit or Resit, you can assume that it will be set for 27 August. So you need to submit your work as soon as you can, WITHOUT WAITING for a decision to be made on your EC claim.
The MA Convenor is responsible for making EC claims decisions for MA students, in consultation with the Student Support Officer and Senior Tutor. You can contact them directly if you have any questions.
The Senior Tutor for the School is Dr Laetitia Calabrese, and Rosine Smyrl is the Student Support Officer.
Any dissertations or late summer assessments that are not submitted will automatically be
offered as First Sits at the next opportunity:
For Semester One modules: January 2021
For Dissertations, Semester Two or Year-long modules: May 2021
Confirmation of these will be sent by email in September, after the Exam Board.
If you have any questions, please contact Rosine Smyrl, Student Support Officer, on sllf-ec@qmul.ac.uk
