Special Circumstances

When you withdraw after the census date or fail a unit due to circumstances outside your control such as family issues, loss of income, declining mental health, grief, or trauma – it can feel deeply unfair. You’re left dealing not only with the academic consequences, but also the financial cost. We help students pursue a fee refund and removal of a fail grade by providing compassionate counselling, as well as the precise and detailed supporting documentation required to meet the strict definition of special circumstances.

Free Consultation

We only accept cases where, after an initial assessment, we believe there is a reasonable basis for meeting the Special Circumstances requirements. 

Accessible

There are no long waitlists, no GP referrals, and no unnecessary delays. Appointments are designed to be accessible so you can get the supporting documents you need promptly.

Trusted Documents

We use a purpose‑built online document verification system designed to help universities confirm the accuracy, relevance, and integrity of supporting documentation.
