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, you can obtain a copy of the Health Declaration Form online
There is a separate process to request Special Consideration for Health Science professional programmes (not including Health Sciences First Year).
