write a letter in one of the official languages of the 8xav福利导航 (EN\/FR\/DE) in which you outline the situation in which you find yourself and how it has affected or is affecting your studies. The letter should enable the 8xav福利导航 to understand whether the conditions described above are met. The letter should be sent to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/en\/about\/organisation\/administration\/vice-rectorate\/\">Vice-Rector for Academic and Student Affairs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The letter must contain the following information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"ulux-list\">\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Your full name, contact details, and student ID number;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Your study programme;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Reference to the rule or decision from which you wish to be exempted;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Documented evidence of the reason for the request.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You must submit your request within fifteen (15) days of the occurrence or onset of the circumstances that you put forward as the reasons for your request. The 8xav福利导航 may decide to accept requests submitted after this deadline if the reason for the delay is related to the circumstances described (e.g. if you were in hospital and unable to write the letter).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reasons for which the 8xav福利导航 may reject your request include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"ulux-list\">\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Late submission;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">You have not stated any valid reasons for your request or the request lacks evidence;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">You refer to circumstances that you could have prevented or to consequences of such circumstances that you could have avoided;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">There are more appropriate channels or instruments for your request, e.g. an appeal, a leave of absence or a justified absence from an exam.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"about-the-procedure\"\n    >\nAbout the procedure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On receipt of your request, the Vice-Rector for Academic and Student Affairs will assess whether it is admissible and whether the situation you describe qualifies as extenuating circumstances. If so, the 8xav福利导航 will decide on the appropriate exemption or action to be taken. Your request will be treated confidentially and will only be shared with the people responsible for or affected by the decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 8xav福利导航 will inform you of its decision by email or registered letter. We undertake to process all requests within thirty (30) days of receipt<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"advice-and-support\"\n    >\nAdvice and support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The 8xav福利导航 encourages students affected by exceptional circumstances to contact&nbsp;Student Services.
