Special Consideration is the process by which the University of Otago seeks to ensure just and equitable treatment of students who suffer unexpected and significant impairment (e.g. serious illness) in relation to assessment.
If you are a student wanting to apply for Special Consideration based on medical impairment (illness that is not COVID-19, injury, or mental health issue), you can obtain a copy of the Health Declaration Form online
If your medical impairment is due to COVID-19 (either isolating, testing positive, or having COVID-19 symptoms) you will need to complete the Declaration to Support Special Consideration Application (COVID-19) for the appropriate exam period instead.
