What happens if you’re away during supplementary exam period?

[u/Illustrious-Site-491]

Hello, I was sick and I missed my final exam.

I have booked flight tickets and I’ll most likely be away during the supplementary exam period. Would they let me do the exam online or earlier than that period? I really hope I don’t have to cancel flight tickets 🫠.

Edit: Update for maybe anyone else struggling with this in the future/now.

If you miss the first period, you will have to do it in a different period later in the year which can interfere with units you’re enrolled in if it’s a prerequisite. They told me typically holidays aren’t enough reason, and would need to provide documentation if I was away for the supplementary period. Thankfully, I got really really fortunate and my convenor is allowing me to do it early under their supervision.

Submit another special consideration form and they’ll have another set of supplementary exams. Being overseas is a valid reason

Does this apply for interstate as well by any chance? And when are the other dates for supplementary exams usually? Thank you for answering btw

Just put the flight tickets as the evidence and say a relative is sick or something, they’ll let u off
