If your request for re-arrangement is accepted, however you are told that the lab leader cannot practically accomodate this then, as set out in the policy above, you will not be awarded the marks for the activity. This section explains how you should go about collecting evidence and applying to the EAMC to have missed labs disregarded for the purposes of meeting the standard credit requirement. Please remember that you may still achieve standard credit if you miss only a small part of a section of the coursework so you may not need to do this. Please see the coursework credit notices for IA and IB for details.

Your College Tutor can assist you in making an application to the EAMC. You should note that EAMC approves allowances in the case of illness or other "grave cause" .

The department has received guidance from the EAMC secretariat that Part I students in Engineering should make one application in respect of all missed labs in a year when the standard credit marks are published (normally around the time of the last lectures in Easter Term). You should not make applications piecemeal throughout the year. You will be emailed about this before the exams take place. Unfortunately we are not able to answer queries about marks until these are collated at that time. You should also note that the EAMC typically only considers cases which would lead to change in class.

Any application to the EAMC will be reliant on the evidence submitted to support the application and therefore you should keep evidence, including any emails confirming that the lab could not be re-arranged and any notes of any interactions that you had with your GP, Tutor or College Nurse at the time to confirm illness. You should also keep evidence of any positive COVID test etc. If you missed the lab due to other reasons you should keep evidence of those reasons.
