If you contract COVID-19 and you are unable to submit an assessment or attend an
examination then you must take a lateral flow test and register the positive result on
the NHS app and when you receive an email from the NHS confirming a positive
result, you can submit this as evidence for your PMC. You should then register for a
PCR test. The PMC panel will then notify you if your PMC is accepted/rejected (civil
engineering staff are not involved in this process).
Remember that it is not possible to obtain a PMC for substandard performance in
an assessment, you can only apply for a PMC because you are unable to take or
submit an assessment.

If you have a medical condition which prevents you from attending university you
must obtain an approved PMC, or you will be marked absent, and you run the risk
of being removed from your programme following persistent non-attendance. Most
modules will have previously or alternative recorded material on Blackboard which
you can watch, though it is unlikely to provide sufficient detail to replace attending
lectures. Whilst marking trimester 1 assessments it has become clear that many
students have not attended lectures, and some have engaged in collaborative
coursework solution (which will result in plagiarism reports). Therefore, it is important
that students re-engage with lecturers in face-to-face learning.
The Library is running a new workshop on getting the most out of feedback Finding
the Positives in 'Negative' Feedback session on 26th January 2022, 11:00-12:00.
