Mitigation circumstances reason

What does your uni say about EC for medical reasons?

Did you let the uni know in the day that you were ill?

It says “serious worsening or acute episode of an ongoing disability, medical condition or mental health condition” is considered. Whereas, on other side, it also says “an ongoing disability, medical condition or mental health condition” as not considered. Btw my uni is UCL.
This is where I got the info from:

Did you let the uni know in the day that you were ill?

Isn’t it that ECs can be submitted within 5 working days of the assessment? And one should have visited their gp within 3 days of the assessment?

It's unlikely for several reasons: you didn't let them know; you didn't see a doctor; after-the-fact mitigation is traditionally much more difficult to have approved. Did you sit the exam? if you didn the likelihood is even worse: most places have a 'fit-to-sit' policy whereby the act of sitting the examination is a tacit agreement that you are well enough to sit without any mitigation etc.

I went to A & E two days after my exam as I didn’t get a GP appointment

Is an asthma attack part of your condition, ie do you have them anyway, or is it your condition worsening?

Thing is, you need evidence that you were seriously ill on the day. Did you try calling your GP on the day and give your name? Why did you sit the exam and why didn't you tell uni staff? How come you didn't go to A&E sooner? As above, taking the exam and then claiming EC is difficult to prove?

I haven’t taken the exam. I was seriously ill on the day and could not even go to the nearest pharmacy. Two days later I booked a GP appointment but they couldn’t take me on the day so I went to the nearest A & E.

But you obviously have email, if not a phone, so you should have contacted the uni on the day. And your GP? And gone to A&E, if it was that serious, with a friend?

Suggesting you can submit an EC several days after an event will be to give you a chance to get all the evidence together. All there is now is the fact that you missed an exam and nothing from that day to support your reason for missing it.

What has the uni said about it?

So you were ill but didn't tell your university that day. When did you eventually tell them?

Does sudden asthma attack on exam morning count as acceptable EC? I didn’t go to the GP the same day .
however, I also develop an ear infection possibly due to sneezing which caused headaches and jaw pain and I went to the GP regarding this issue a few days before the exam. I had mild asthma that day but I didn’t mention it to the doctor.
So if I go to the doctor tomorrow and let him know about my asthma, can I get an EC letter by Gp? And what are the chances of it getting accepted by uni.

I will submit EC with evidence today (it’s the 3rd day after exam).

You had an exam on Saturday?
