sec.56 Application for declaration of eligibility—external senior assessment

A person may apply to the authority to be declared to be eligible to take an external senior assessment for a senior subject in the year in which the application is made. The authority must consider the application and decide to grant, or refuse to grant, the application. The authority may grant the application if the authority is satisfied— the applicant is a student; and exceptional circumstances exist that justify granting the application. If the authority decides to grant the application, it must as soon as practicable give the applicant notice of the decision. If the authority decides to refuse to grant the application, it must as soon as practicable give the applicant an information notice for the decision. If the authority does not decide the application within 14 days after the application is made— the authority is taken to have decided to refuse to grant the application; and the authority must, as soon as practicable, give the applicant an information notice for the decision.
