ARTWORK: Yige Xu With the semester heating up, students are scrambling to submit assignments before their due dates. But what if you are unable to finish your assessment on time due to extenuating circumstances? Fortunately, at ANU, students can apply for special considerations in these situations. For students, there are two types of consideration plans that they can apply for, depending on their situation: Special Considerations or an Education Access Plan. Whilst special consideration only applies for matters arising before and during an assessment item is due, an Education Access Plan is a long-term provision that applies to a student’s academic life whilst at the University. Both have differing application processes and outcomes. Nonetheless, the process of applying for special considerations remains a difficult and hard to navigate process for ANU students. Whilst the ANU outlines under what circumstances students can apply for special consideration, the university’s different colleges delineate diverging processes on their Wattle pages.
