Mitigation acknowledges certain circumstances that may impact on your performance at the first attempt of an exam or assessment.

There are two types of Mitigation, deferral or waiver of capping.

• Deferral application form: Use this if you want to defer all your exams and/or assessments, because of documented circumstances that impact substantially on your ability to prepare for or perform at your best in an exam.
• Waiver of Capping application form: Most students will not need to apply for a waiver of capping in academic year 2020/2021. This is because, Under UCC's No Academic Disadvantage policy, marks will not be capped in the Autumn supplemental (repeat) examinations or assessments (except where there has been a breach of examination regulations). If you need to apply for a retrospective waiver of capping relating to a previous year, please contact sreo@ucc.ie.
