Extensions

What can you do?

If you are struggling to meet a deadline due to circumstances outside of your control, you can request an extension. Extensions will not be granted for assessments lasting 24 hours or less.

You should request an extension before the submission deadline of your coursework assessment. Extension requests submitted after the deadline cannot be considered.

For assessments with durations of 3 weeks or less, the maximum extension that you will be able to request is 50% of the assessment period concerned, e.g. for a two-week assessment, the maximum permitted extension will be one week.

Please note that your department may not feel that it is appropriate to offer you the maximum permitted extension.

You should request an extension through the procedures used in your teaching department; there is further guidance available on the Extension Policy web page. Further information is available through the Student Guidance document.
