where, after enrolment, it is made apparent that the student requires special support, reasonable
adjustments will be made to the learning environment, training delivery, learning resources and/or
assessment tasks to accommodate the needs of the student. An adjustment is reasonable if it can
accommodate the student’s particular needs, while also considering factors such as the student’s
views, the potential effect of the adjustment on the student and others and the costs and benefits of
making the adjustment.
a. Providing additional time for students to complete learning and assessment tasks.
b. Presenting questions orally for students with literacy issues.
c. Asking questions in a relevant practical context.
d. Using large print material.
e. Extending the course duration.

matter with them. If you are dissatisfied with the outcome of such discussion, you may appeal
further to either the course coordinator and/or Head of Department. If you are still dissatisfied, you
may appeal formally and in writing to have the result reviewed. For more information, refer to the
Assessment Policy and the Complaints and Appeals Policy and Procedures.

will stop the assessment immediately.
