Extensions for Taught Students

An extension is a self-certiﬁed request which allows you 5 additional working days to complete your assessment(s). You can only submit an extension up to the deadline for your assessment, and not after. This means you must submit an extension request BEFORE your assessment deadline.
Evidence is no longer essential for requests to be approved, but you have the option to attach supporting information should you wish to do so.
You can only ever submit one extension request per assessment, provided it is eligible for an extension.
All extension deadlines will provide you with an 5 additional working days from the original deadline to submit your work. If you can’t meet this deadline once granted, you cannot then apply for another extension request for that assessment. In this case, you will need to apply for Extenuating Circumstances (EC) which do require supporting information to verify your circumstances before consideration. For the details of the Personal Circumstances procedure and associated forms, please refer to Section 8. Examinations and in-class tests are not open to extension requests.
Assessments that have been referred, deferred, or are being taken under a tutor reassessment are ineligible for extension requests.
Once you have submitted your request, you will be informed by the system of your new submission date.

You can get to the extensions page by going to the My Details area and selecting ‘extensions’ on the left-hand side of the page. You can then apply for an extension by clicking the ‘apply’ button on the extensions page.
For further guidance about making an extension request, please read the Extensions Guidance for Taught Students.
