A Learner Adjustment Plan (LAP) is created in in collaboration with:
You
Your School
Our Disability Support and Inclusion Team
Your LAP contains recommendations for how University staff can support you as a disabled student. It explains what reasonable adjustments we recommend that your School and professional services should put in place to enable you to access your course.
The primary goal of the support recommended in the LAP is to remove or reduce any disadvantages you might encounter while studying due to your disability.
Our aim is to create an environment where all students are given an equal opportunity to succeed, independent of their background or disability.
How to find your extension on e:Vision
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.
Please see the section below: ‘What extensions are included’, or if you need a different length extension than the one recommended in your LAP (due to it clashing with another course activity).
You will be able to view your adjusted assignment submission dates on e:Vision. You will be given access to the submission link on Moodle.
To check if adjustments 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 in Moodle 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 Submitting Work HELP page.
Do LAP extensions apply to resits?
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 recommend you discuss this with the PASS team and your module tutor.
What extensions are included?
LAP deadline extensions are generally applicable for written assessments. They are not suitable for the following types of assessment:
School and central examinations
Practical examinations
Timed assessments longer than 24 hours
