Exam Warnings
If you have been hindered in preparing for or taking your exams because of illness or disability or because of some other grave cause (e.g. bereavement), you tutor may submit an Exam Warning. This does not empower the examiners to give you any extra marks, but does allow for e.g. not penalising for minor faults in spelling and grammar in the case of students with dyslexia.

For more information on Individual Exam Arrangements contact the Disability Resource Centre or the CUSU/ GU Student Advice Service.
