After your Learner Adjustment Plan (LAP) appointment, the recommendations will be available to the relevant departments to action the next working day.
Exam adjustments
The deadlines for agreeing reasonable adjustments for examinations can be found on our special arrangements for exams website.
If reasonable adjustments have been approved, you will be able to view these on your personalised timetable on e:Vision. You will also receive an email from Registry confirming the arrangements at least 2 weeks before each examination period.
Deadline adjustments
- School and central examination
- Practical examinations
- Timed assessments longer than 24 hours
- Clinical assessments
- Live presentations
- Vivas
- Group work
If deadline extensions have been recommended in your LAP, these will be communicated to the Programme Administration and Support Service (PASS) team, who will apply these to relevant assessments on Moodle.
You will be notified by the PASS team if there is a reason that these cannot be applied to a written assignment, or if you need a different length extension than the one recommended in your LAP (due to it clashing with another course activity).
To check if they have been implemented:
- Open e:Vision
- Go to the Exceptional Circumstances and Exceptions tab
- Click on the link to view any requests or information on extensions
- Scroll down to 'Completed Requests'
- Click 'View' and this will show the extensions for this semester
A separate submission link will be visible alongside the original submission link, allowing you to submit your work to either:
- The original submission link, if you do not wish to use your extension, or
- The extended submission link if you do
Information on how to submit your assessments to Moodle can be found on our Exams and assessment page.
We strongly recommend meeting with your module tutor once you have your assessment schedule, to discuss how to best use your additional time and to space out your assessments when necessary.
The Study Development team can also support you to further develop study strategies around managing multiple deadlines and commitments. You can find out more information about this service on the Study Development web page.
Please note that LAP deadline extensions apply to first attempts only. Extensions on assessment resits may be applied upon request to the PASS team, once your resit has been confirmed. This is dependent on assessment period deadlines. We would recommend you discuss this with the PASS team and your module tutor.
Classroom adjustments
The day after the LAP is created, your academic tutors will have access to your LAP. We strongly recommend that you meet with your module tutor to discuss the teaching and learning adjustments and to ensure they are put in place.
