Harvard Referencing

There are many different types of referencing styles, but the version used at the RMS is called Harvard Referencing. Referencing is a way of acknowledging all the sources that you have used in your academic work. You should reference every time you use information that you have obtained from an external source. 




Extenuating Circumstances

There are 2 options available for students:

  • Self-Certification – an extension of 5 working days where no evidence is required or
  • Non Self-Certification - if you require longer than 5 working days, supporting evidence should be submitted with the application form or if not with the form, then within 5 working days of sending the form into us. Without evidence we cannot process your request.

 

The following list shows examples we can accept from students and it can be any of the following;

 

  • GP Letter/Psychiatrist or mental health counsellor letter/photos of injury’s
  • DR/Hospital letter
  • Sick note/medical certificate
  • Death certificate/letter from undertaker/order of service (we understand the nature of this request, therefore if there are any problems with this please do let us know and we can discuss).

 

Application forms should be sent to us at least a day before the initial submission date of the module with supporting evidence sent in within 5 working days of sending the application in or if you can, the same time as sending the application.

 

Please email your completed form to studentsupport.servicesrms@rmh.nhs.uk





Appeals

Appeals allow students to challenge academic decisions and should be submitted when seeking to change an academic outcome (for example the classification of a degree).

  • Complaints are concerned with aspects of a student’s academic experience other than academic decisions (for example a complaint about the learning environment) or where a student is not seeking to change an academic decision but is nonetheless dissatisfied.
  • Academic Appeals can lead to different academic outcomes for students. Academic Complaints, even when upheld, cannot change academic decisions.
