Streamline mitigating circumstances request management.
We all know that there are many valid reasons a student may not be able to meet their deadlines. As the student population grows and staff bandwidth is stretched, managing mitigating or extenuating circumstances becomes more and more difficult. Make it easy for students to make special consideration requests and easy for staff to manage them.

How our mitigating circumstances solution works
Features for managing mitigating circumstances requests
One intuitive dashboard
Students and staff benefit from not having to jump between systems to make or manage special consideration requests. Give them one place to go.
Create required fields
Ensure that student requests are consistent and complete with required data fields. Reduce wasted time going back and forth looking for supplementary information.
Attach relevant evidence
Whether a doctor’s or consultant’s letter, students can upload PDF, jpeg, or doc files to their mitigating circumstance request as evidence for staff to review.
Keep information discrete
As special considerations are often sensitive by nature, we want to ensure that student information is kept secure. Assign requests only to the staff and faculty directly involved.
Real-time status updates
When staff users update the status of a student’s extenuating circumstance request, it reflects instantly on the student’s dashboard. Students are never left in limbo.
Make requests on-the-go
Allow students to submit their application from right inside their SEAtS mobile app. Students can submit a request for multiple modules or assessments at once and attach any relevant documents.
A holistic approach to request management
Submitting New Applications
In the mitigating circumstances application, students are given an overview of the request process and the potential outcomes.
From here, students search for their desired module and upcoming assessment that they wish to defer. They will also have to select the reason for the request from a pre-populated list of valid reasons and produce a wider explanation of the request. Supporting documentation can also be provided by attaching it to the application.
Before the student submits the request, they will be directed to a summary page. Here they will have to make a declaration that the information they have provided is correct.

Managing Student Requests
Mitigating circumstances staff log into SEAtS web app and navigate to the Approvals tab. Here they will see student requests that are relevant to them waiting for review.
From there, staff can change the status of student requests to pre-determined stages along with adding comments for the student. They will also be able to send direct emails to the student if needed. If there are other staff or faculty that need to be made aware of the special considerations request, admin users can assign non-admin users with temporary access with the click of a button.
Export student requests instantly for simplified reporting.
