The Consequences of Deferring Assessment Following a Successful Claim for Mitigating Circumstances
Submitting a Mitigating Circumstances (MC) claim may affect your current Student Visa as well as your future eligibility for the Graduate Route Visa.
Your student visa may be cancelled, or a further extension of your visa may not be possible if your MC claim leads to:
- no requirement to attend timetabled lectures/seminars
- final results being released after your current student visa expiry date
- deferral of a dissertation, full semester or year
It is important that you read our information on Repeat Study and the Graduate Route Visa when considering applying for MCs. You may also book an appointment with Student Advice to discuss your situation.
