The letter must include a diagnosis and the likely duration of the condition. This is to help us understand whether your condition is temporary or permanent.
Important to know:
- If possible, we may ask your GP to detail how the medical condition would affect your performance in a written assessment. You may show a copy of this medical certificate to your GP as a reference.
- Please be aware that if you are a patient at King's Medical Centre, you are still required to submit a medical certificate.
Important to know: You might be offered interim arrangements until Disability Support & Inclusion can advise you about getting up-to-date evidence.
Important to know: If you are unsure if your evidence will be accepted, contact Disability Support & Inclusion who can review your supporting evidence, and advise you further. Please ensure you submit your PAA application prior to any PAA deadlines, in case Disability Support & Inclusion is not able to respond to you in time.
We encourage students to apply for PAA as soon as possible after enrolment. Once your PAA is approved you do not need to re-apply again each year unless your circumstances change (or you change course). You should expect to wait up to four weeks for your PAA application to be reviewed and approved.
What if I have an exam or assessment in the near future?
