Things I Need to Know About Pecs – Faqs

What is a PEC?

PEC stands for Personal Extenuating Circumstances and is the name given to an application made to request an adjustment to a module assessment, typically an extension, due to an unexpected and uncontrollable circumstance.

Are PECs the only form of support available if I run into difficulties with my studies?

No. If you have an ongoing medical or mental health condition you must seek direct support from the Student Health & Wellbeing Service (SHWS at ) which will likely lead to you receiving a Student Support Plan (SSP) to help you with your studies. Furthermore, if you find that you are struggling with your studies and it is not due to an unexpected circumstance then you must speak with your Personal Tutor for guidance, this may lead to you receiving a Support-to-Study (StS) schedule or action plan, see:
