    Extra time during exams

    Current
    • Assignments and Exams
    • Accessibility
    Currently, students who have support plan /disability who are eligible for extra time during exams are not able to get extra time due to the uni not doing it anymore. Students are struggling especially if in sixth form/collage they had extra time it will make the transition impossible and makes students with disabilities disadvantaged during exams
