Applying for an I-Grade
An I-grade may be awarded to students who find themselves in an immediate crisis situation, coming up to or during an exam or final assessment period, which prevents them from being able to sit or complete their exams, assignments or placements. An immediate crisis can relate to ill-health, mental health issues or family bereavement/other family crisis situations.
I-grades can only be awarded for full modules, not component parts of modules and therefore do not apply in the case of mid-term assessments. Your lecturer will be able to advise what alternative arrangements can be made.
If you face an emergency and cannot sit exams you can consider the option of applying for an I-grade (I-Grade Applications | University of Limerick).
You can email Nicole and Shane at advicehub@ul.ie to discuss your situation and learn more about I-Grades.
