Course-related circumstances

You can apply for special circumstances based on course-related reasons (e.g., Monash has changed or cancelled the unit or its delivery mode). In most cases, the evidence for these applications will come from the College staff or systems. You could provide:

• Official correspondence: Copies of emails or formal letters from your faculty, school, or Unit Coordinator notifying you of the change.
• A statement from your faculty: If the change isn't documented in a broad email, a letter from a relevant academic staff member (e.g., discipline leader, unit leader or a faculty delegate) confirming the disruption.

Your documentation should clearly identify the nature, timing, and significant impact of the change. It should also confirm the:

• nature of the change – clearly identify what was added or altered (e.g., a new hurdle requirement, a change in location, or a shift in dates)
• timing – evidence that the notification occurred after the census date
• impact – why this specific change made it impossible for you to complete the unit.
