Completing a PEC form will inform your School about the problems and allows you to request a number of different types of adjustments such as extensions to assignments, exemptions, deferrals or board of examiner discretion. NCL2100 staff are not able to grant you PEC assessment adjustments, these requests can only be made via your School Office, who will inform the Module Leader of the outcome. Further guidance is available at: www.ncl.ac.uk/students/progress/student-resources/help/ As well as speaking to your tutor we also highly recommend accessing other support available to you: http://www.ncl.ac.uk/students/wellbeing/
