Aegrotat / Impaired Performance
Candidates who have been prevented by illness or injury from presenting themselves at any examination, or who consider that their performance in any examination has been seriously impaired by illness or injury may, on application and with the approval of the Vice-Chancellor, be granted a grade of pass under aegrotat consideration. Please note that application for an aegrotat may still result in a fail grade, if the candidate's overall course work was not deemed well above the minimum pass standard. For regulations please consult the Massey University Calendar.
