Exemption from intensive school

You can apply for exemption from attendance at compulsory intensive (residential) schools.

Grounds for application

Applications for exemption may be approved on the following grounds:

• Misadventure or extenuating circumstances
• Where students are re-enrolling in a failed subject and have satisfactorily completed the intensive school requirements when first enrolled in that subject (although some Schools do not consider this as a valid reason for exemption)
• Where students have already completed the work to be taught at the intensive school.

Applications will be decided by the Head of School on the recommendation of the Subject Coordinator or Course Director (for course-based Intensive Schools).

Read the Assessment Policy - Coursework Subjects Section 12-Residential Schools, Part Z

How to apply

You can apply for exemption from a compulsory Intensive School using the Application for Special Consideration form.

Deadlines for submission

Apply for special consideration as soon as possible after the circumstances have occurred and prior to the commencement of the intensive school.
