Frequently asked questions

Is condonation guaranteed?

No. It depends on the rules of your college or university, the reason and how far below the minimum you are. Apply early and keep the papers ready.

Can I apply on the last day?

Risky. Colleges set a last date before the exam forms are sent, and a late application may not be accepted. Ask the office for the date.
