Extenuating Circumstances

Give students extra time and attempts on a case-by-case basis.
about the problem

Lack of Flexibility

Traditional assessment policies may lack the flexibility needed to accommodate students with extenuating circumstances effectively. Educators may find themselves constrained by rigid deadlines, fixed assignment structures, and standardised grading practices that do not account for the unique needs of individual students. This lack of flexibility can hinder educators' ability to provide timely and appropriate support to students facing challenges, potentially undermining their academic progress and well-being.

The challenge

Supporting Students in Difficult Situations

  • Students may face unexpected challenges that impact their ability to meet academic requirements.
  • Personal hardships, health issues, or emergencies require additional support and accommodations.
  • Without a structured mechanism for addressing these circumstances, educators may struggle to provide equitable opportunities.
  • This can exacerbate disparities in academic outcomes.
  • Tailored Support for Every Student

    Graide's Extenuating Circumstances feature offers a solution to the challenges of supporting students with unique needs and circumstances.
