So, my university has granted my exceptional circumstances and it's likely I get to resubmit my dissertation - would this mean that I need to do my dissertation based on a new topic or make a revision?
Hello there From my understanding, you would need to submit what you were working on. However, sometimes there are specific rules for resubmission. I would suggest contacting your university to double check!

You will almost certainly have to submit a revision of your original dissertation. It also depends on whether your exceptional circumstance request is for an extension or a deferral. It would be best to double check with your supervisor.
