Exceptional Circumstances Consideration Service
The Exceptional Circumstances Consideration Service opens on Thursday 9 April 2020. The service supports candidates who have been unable to attend an examination, or whose performance in the examination is affected by a personal circumstance, or an unplanned incident on the day, which is outwith their control. This is a pre-certification service and all candidates are eligible for exceptional circumstances consideration where:
- they have experienced a valid exceptional circumstance
- they have completed all the compulsory non-question paper components
- they have had an estimate submitted
- alternative academic evidence, produced under the correct conditions, is available
Enquiries can be made to our Exceptional Circumstances Helpdesk on 0345 213 6640 or by emailing ec.enquiries@sqa.org.uk.
