I am currently making an job application, in the high education sector there is a term called "extenuating circumstances" what does that mean?
|
|
What's the context/question before it?
My understanding is that "extenuating circumstances" is your chance to defend yourself even after expressing guilt.
|
|
I'll try and use it in a sentence for you:
"If you miss more than 3 classes you will receive a failing grade. Exceptions will be made for extenuating circumstances."
For example, a death in the family, a serious illness...these could be extenuating circumstances -- i.e., circumstances that by their serious, unpredictable, or uncontrolable nature, warrant an exception to the rule.

Does that mean if I don't have a good result for my study that I could address reasons to defend myself?

No one can say that for sure, as we don't know the original context, do we?

Thank-you for saying that, guest. I wanted to write that myself.
Cleveland, I think you need to use "google" to look up some of these terms. I found over a million hits for "extenuating circumstances".
We don't want to give you bad advice based on partial information.

that's why it bugs me, cuz there is no context, it is just an application form and in the high education sector it has a blank area after results that " do u have any extenuating circumstances?" I am not sure what does this exactly mean

In order for us to fully answer your question, you would have to provide us with more information about what is being asked on the sheet. I am not sure what you mean by "high education sector" -- that is not enough information to go on.
That could have to do with a lot of things -- how much education you have received, what classes you have completed, health-related information a particular school needs prior to enrollment.
