Late applications
eVision does not stop students from submitting a late application. They will be presented with a warning message which tells them they are applying after the deadline.
Late applications will still be assessed after the deadline, especially from students with new conditions or who are experiencing a worsening of an existing condition.
Students should be advised to explain their circumstances in detail and include medical documentation.
