Sintesi Omnilex

A student challenged an exam-related sanction, invoking RU.22 al. 3 and arguing that his mother's poor health and difficult relations with his father justified relief. The deciding authority, CRUNI, held that these circumstances, while unfortunate, did not amount to an extraordinary circumstance within the meaning of the regulation. The appeal was dismissed.

Massima Omnilex

RU.22 al. 3; extraordinary circumstances justifying relief from an exam sanction are interpreted restrictively. Personal or family difficulties, including a parent's poor health and strained parental relations, do not as such constitute an exceptional situation unless they are shown to be of a gravity and impact exceeding ordinary life disturbances; the authority retains discretion in assessing whether the threshold of exceptionality is met.
