Extenuating Circumstances Application
If you were studying at ANU prior to Semester 2, 2023, you may have heard of either a “deferred examination” or a “special consideration” process. As of Semester 2, 2023, these processes no longer exist and have been replaced with the Extenuating Circumstances Application (ECA), which has rolled both of these functions into one streamlined process, with some changes.
Key Points (ECA at a Glance):
- For assessment worth 20% or more, or extensions of 10 working days or more
- Must be submitted within 5 working days of an assessment due date
- Valid for both exams and other assessments
- Replaces "Special Consideration" and "Deferred Examination" processes
An ECA must be submitted within five (5) working days of the original date of the assessment (including an examination) that the ECA is for.

Fri 27 October @ Glebe Park
Reclaim the Night, also known as ‘Take Back the Night’, is an annual, international event which campaigns against sexual violence towards women. Traditionally, Reclaim the Night (RTN) takes the form of a rally/march where the public hit the streets after dark and join together to take a stand against sexual violence. Since the 70s, when RTN first took place, the marches fought for women’s right to walk without fear of being assaulted at night. Over the years, although the focus remains on sexual violence, RTN has evolved to include other forms of gender-based violence against women, transsexual and gender-diverse persons.
This year, RTN Canberra will be held on Friday 27th October from 5pm at Glebe Park (Civic) and the theme focus is on 'Drug and Alcohol Facilitated Sexual Violence' and when consent is negated due to intoxication. This year's event will be broader and more community focused with the inclusion of stalls from a number of community organisations who assist in the fight against sexual violence around the ACT and surrounding regions.
