If something has happened at home, you are
ill or some other unforeseen circumstance has occurred and you feel
that this will affect your studies you need to let your school know
there is a problem as soon as it occurs or as soon as possible afterwards.
You need to do this formally, having a chat with your tutor
or with the office staff does not mean that this will be noted formally
and it will not be taken into account. You need to fill in a form to
report your extenuating circumstances officially.
