特殊情况规定 Exceptional Circumstances
The Exceptional Circumstances (EC) Service helps students who need additional support with assessments.
Support is available to students who have an existing schedule of adjustments, or those facing unforeseen, challenging circumstances.
Help can range from additional time to complete coursework to special consideration regarding late penalties or marks.
爱丁堡大学从 2024 年 9 月 12 日起采用新的 Exceptional Circumstances Policy，取代原 Coursework Extensions 和 Special Circumstances 政策。若学生遇到不可预见的困难，或已有调整安排并需要额外评估支持，可申请课程作业延期、Exceptional Circumstances、或额外时间学习调整。Exceptional Circumstances 适用于无法使用延期的课程作业、无法赶上延期截止日期、截止日期已过的课程作业、无法参加或已经错过的考试，以及学生认为表现受到影响的评估。

申诉流程 Appeal
学生需要等考试委员会或决策方发布最终决定后提交申诉。学术决定的申诉期限因学习阶段而异：本科最后一年学生、所有授课型研究生和研究型研究生通常须在结果发布后30个工作日内提交；本科其他年级通常须在结果发布后10个工作日内提交。针对 Student Discipline Officers 或 Student Discipline Committee 决定的申诉，通常须在收到决定后10个工作日内提交。迟交申诉只会在有证据说明为何无法按时提交的特殊情况下考虑，且超过原决定发布日1年的申诉不会被受理。学校当前说明称，因申诉量较高，通常目标是在收到申诉后8至10周内由相关 Appeal Committee 的 Sub-Committee 审议并通知结果。
