Final Points
■ Don’t be too proud to get help – Special Consideration exists to support you if your studies are
impacted by extenuating circumstances
■ Special Consideration is strictly confidential – Not even your unit coordinators and tutors know
why you have applied for Special Consideration if you don’t want them to know
■ Keep in contact with lecturers and tutors – It’s important to let them know if anything is going
wrong. You don’t need to tell them what has happened, but even telling them that you have
applied for Special Consideration is beneficial
■ DO NOT wait until you receive Special Consideration to submit your assignment. Keep
working on it and submit it when it’s done – your extension will only be granted for as long as
your documentation justifies it
■ ASK if you have questions – Not asking means you may not know what is available. If you are
having difficulties, come to Student Services and find out your options. It never hurts to ask
■ I am located on the second floor of the Menzies Building – If you’re experiencing difficulties
and need advice and assistance to get back on track, come up and see me or book an
appointment by emailing Jared.Price@monash.edu
