Extenuating Circumstances

Candidates who have experienced any serious medical or personal difficulty(ies) that had a significant impact on their academic performance may claim 'Extenuating Circumstances (EXTC)' on their application. Candidates who have reduced their course load during one or two semesters and were considered part-time will need to claim Extenuating Circumstances and provide the required documentation. You do not need to claim Extenuating Circumstances if you were left with a few courses during your very last semester. For more information on our requirements:Ìý.Ìý

Applicants who choose to submit a letter of extenuating circumstances should understand that the review of these requests is guided by the following factors:Ìý

1. The credibility of the circumstances, including supporting official or objective documentation provided;
2. The time-frame of the circumstances (defined start and end dates);
3. The connection between the described circumstances and the applicant’s academic performance (specific courses which were affected).

Where an applicant’s circumstances are determined to be credible, circumscribed in time, and having had an impact on academic performance, the ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù Office will determine what, if any, adjustments can be made to the overall academic evaluation in light of the circumstances. The standard adjustment could be (but is not limited to) conducting the academic evaluation on the basis of the records in question, excluding those elements affected by the extenuating circumstances. Whether and to what extent adjustments will be made is at the discretion of the ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù Office and its decisions in this regard are final.

The extenuating circumstances letter should be no more than one page in length. The letter should explain clearly what happened, why it happened, what the outcomes were, and, if applicable, what precautions or measures the candidate has taken or will take to ensure that the issue will have no further impact on the his or her academic performance. The letter should also provide information on what the candidate would like the ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù Committee to take into consideration when reviewing the application.

Any official or objective documentation such as medical notes, accident reports, etc. to help validate the circumstances should be provided along with the letter.

The letter and any supporting documents must be submitted in one PDF file and uploaded on your Slate Application portal to the appropriate checklist item (EXTC).

IMPORTANT â–º When filling out your web application form, you must indicate YES to the extenuating circumstances question in your application in order for your request to be considered.
