What should I do?

Hey!

I understand you are in very challenging situation. I think you can talk to your PAT (Personal Academic Tutor) about your situation, and they can advise what best can be done. Regarding your interviews, I feel you should attend and explain your circumstances, some employers might consider your situation and take you in for a later intake. Remember, you don’t get what you don’t ask for! Take Care!

MitCircs is the most direct route -you should be able to access some pretty specific support on this via your academic advisor and the school-level MitCirc or student support teams. Get in touch ASAP to get the ball rolling.

Yep that's what I plan to do now. Monday 9am when they're open I'll be on it. I've contacted my tutor as well. I'll get my evidence prepared and submit my claim on Monday morning. I've gone over their policy and what they need and I think I'll have it all.

I didn't realise I had replied to two of your threads - apologies! It all sounds squared away to me, I would be surprised if you had any hiccups here. Hopefully things get sorted for you and alleviate a bit of the pressure.

So I've got exams next week and due to family issues I'm not in a good position to take them. I'm in my final year, and scored just below 60% last year. I'm worried if I don't do well, I won't be able to get a 2:1 and that will significantly impact my career opportunities as most grad schemes require a 2:1. I'm very under prepared and feel ill be taking a big risk and it could backfire if I do sit these upcoming exams. Should I just suspend my studies a year and come back prepared next year? Also, I have a few assessment centres and interviews coming up, they all require a 2:1, so should I still go for them and see if I can get it changed to a 2025 intake if I get an offer and explain my circumstances?
