University students due to take an exam today are being reminded there is a chance to apply for a compassionate pass if they feel their preparations have been compromised.
The University of Auckland says both the aegrotat pass - being for health issues - and the compassionate pass will be available to students.
"Apply if your personal circumstances are significantly affecting your exam or test performance or preparation or are unable to sit the exam or test," the university website says.
A spokeswoman told the Herald: "For example, if a student could not complete an exam because they don't have access to a computer or internet, then they could submit a compassionate consideration."
