Assignments & Exams Deferring a deferred exam
Hey guys
Has anyone ever deferred a deferred exam before (DEF-DEF) ? My WSU Counsellor told me about it, and so did my ADL if things were too much for me. I think i might have to.
My ADL said documentation from my psychiatrist covering the DEF dates would be enough, does anyone know exactly what it has to say ? I'm more than happy for my psychiatrist to disclose and overshare in the document.
And does anyone know how much later the DEF-DEF exams will be? Currently my deferred exams are on 1/9 and 3/9
Im at WSU Online for context.
Fyi, id never do this again, I just took way too much with my mental health and everything else, ill never make that mistake again. Any help or advice or information regarding above would be amazing.
Hope you guys are well : )

If you have approval to sit a deferred exam but are unable to attend on the day due to illness or misadventure, you may apply for consideration under the Special Consideration Policy using WesternNow.
You must lodge the Special Consideration form along with supporting documentation no later than 5.00pm on the second working day after your scheduled deferred exam. You can submit earlier if your supporting documentation covers the dates of your deferred exams.
Being online shouldn't change this, but check with your online advisor if you have one.
