    HNC problem
    In 2011-now I was doing a HNC in Systems Development. I receive disabled student allowance and my tutors are well aware of my disability. I have chrohns disease, an unpredictable and frustrating bowel condition.
    I hoped to go to Edniburgh Napier Uni in September for IT, however I may have failed one of my units for the HNC. This is due to to my coniditon and not making enough classes.
    I have really got my head set on going to Uni in autumn, what should I do?!

    No one can help you except them. We can't tell you if they'll accept it or not, only they can.

    I contact them and they said they may accept me under mitigating circumstances so they need evidence from my GP from my doc.
    Happy days! Thanks
