Mitigating circumstances, exam deferrals, coursework extensions — UK universities take medical evidence seriously, and rightly so. The problem is timing: policies often demand certificates within days, while GP appointments take weeks. Simply Sick closes that gap for students across the country.
● Excusing missed lectures and seminars under attendance policies.
● Deferring exams on medical grounds.
● Supporting extension requests for coursework and dissertations.
● Backing formal mitigating-circumstances applications.
