application must be lodged online through myUNSW within 3 working days of the assessment (Log
into myUNSW and go to My Student Profile tab > My Student Services > Online Services > Special
Consideration). You will then need to submit the originals or certified copies of your completed
Professional Authority form and other supporting documentation to Student Central. For more

https://student.unsw.edu.au/special-consideration.

For further details, please refer to the course outline on pages 3-4 in part B.

Business School Policy on requests for Special Consideration for Final Exams:
The policy of the School of Accounting is that the lecturer-in-charge will need to be satisfied
on each of the following before supporting a request for special consideration:
1. Does the medical certificate contain all relevant information? For a medical certificate to
be accepted, the degree of illness, and impact on the student, must be stated by the medical
practitioner (severe, moderate, mild). A certificate without this will not be valid.
2. Has the student performed satisfactorily in the other assessment items? Satisfactory
performance would require all assessment tasks attempted and a satisfactory result in each
assessment item specified in the Course Outline and meeting the obligation to have
attended 80% of tutorials.
3. Does the student have a history of previous applications for special consideration? A
history of previous applications may preclude a student from being granted special
consideration.
The Business Schools Special Consideration and Supplementary Examination Policy and
Procedures for Final Exams for Undergraduate Courses is available at:

Notification regarding special consideration requests for Final Exams in Business

School undergraduate courses:
If you lodge an application for special consideration for a final examination in a Business
School undergraduate course you will not be notified of the outcome until 7 days prior to the Business
School supplementary exam period. This is due to these decisions being made by the Business School
Faculty Panel NOT by the lecturer-in-charge (Refer to Business School Policy above).
Until the Faculty Panel meets and makes a decision, the status of your online application will
remain listed as Application submitted.
Once a decision has been made, you will be notified of the outcome through the online special
consideration system and the status of your application will change to Decision made.
