FoE Extensions
This procedure should be read with, and is subject to, the University's Assessment and Results Policy (MPF1326).
FoE Extension Guidelines
Students can apply for a short extension through the faculty Extension Request Portal as follows:
- An extension of 3 business days, provided the application is lodged before the original assignment due date/time (no documentation required)
- An extension of 10 business days for students registered for ongoing support with the University, provided the application is before the original assignment due date/time (AAP upload required)
Students are eligible for these extensions one time per assessment.
Note: If seeking a longer extension or lodging an extension request after the assessment due date, students should apply for Special Consideration.
Outcomes
Students will be advised of the outcome of their application within 3 business days of submitting the application.
Submitting work
Pending extension outcome
If a student has not received an outcome by the original due date/time of the assessment, they should remain patient for the faculty to provide an outcome within the 3-business-day processing time.
Students should continue working on their assessment until they receive an outcome for their extension application.
Approved extension outcome
Students with an approved extension should submit their work via the LMS. Once the extension has been approved, the LMS will update with the new due date/time, and the subject coordinator will be updated via an email notification.
If a student has difficulties uploading their assessment to the LMS, they should directly email their subject coordinator with their assignment attached.
How to apply
Students must submit extension applications via the FoE Extensions Portal.
Note: Extension requests should NOT be made directly to academic staff – extensions are only official if approved through the Extensions Portal.
The FoE Extension portal allows students to submit one application per subject assessment at a time. If applying for extensions across multiple subjects/assessments, multiple applications will need to be submitted.
If applying for an extension of greater than 3 business days (or 10 business days for those students registered for ongoing support) and/or after the assessment due date, students should submit a Special Consideration application.
