In the event of a short-term medical circumstance that requires no more than a 7-day extension as a suitable adjustment, there may be difficulty in obtaining medical evidence (such as from a doctor) with such short notice. In the above circumstance, a student may ‘self-certify’ their medical condition (using https://studentportal.ncl.ac.uk/dashboard and selecting the ‘My Requests’ , ‘PECs’ & ‘Self-Certification’ tiles) prior to submitting their PEC application. In this way they may be granted (up-to) a 7-day extension without the need to attach any documentary evidence.
