Before submitting your application, please note the following conditions:
  • Extensions can only be granted based on medical, compassionate or extenuating circumstances and when supporting documentation (evidence) is provided.
  • In the absence of supporting documentation, the application can considered on the basis of a Study Support Plan or having undertaken a consultation with a member of the Student Support Team.
  • Minor difficulties are not sufficient grounds for an extension. Minor difficulties include, but are not limited to, time management, competing priorities, or minor ailments.
  • Applications will not be approved if your circumstances were avoidable and/or you had reasonable opportunity to make alternative arrangements.
Your reason for applying for an extension
Supporting Evidence

To apply for an extension you are required to provide supporting documentation or have a current Study Support Plan (that includes provisions for extensions). 

If you are unable to meet the documentation requirements, you are required to consult with a member of the Student Support Team to discuss your reasons for applying for an extension prior to submitting this form. Please note that meeting with the Student Support Team does not guarantee approval. All applications are assessed by Administration in line with the conditions of the policy. 

I have spoken with a member of the Student Support Team about my request for an extension. Please remember to complete this step before submitting your form.
Please ensure you are aware of the Extension Policy prior to submitting your application. The below text has been extracted from the Course Unit Assessment Policy.

Extension Policy

In the case where a student has been unable to complete the required work for assessment by the assessment deadline, a two-week extension of time may be sought.

  • Extensions can only be granted based on medical, compassionate or extenuating circumstances and when supporting documentation (evidence) is provided.
  • In the absence of supporting documentation, the application can be endorsed by the Student Liaison Officer (based on a student consultation or Study Support Plan).
  • Minor difficulties, such as time management or competing priorities, are not sufficient grounds for an extension.
  • Extensions are granted for a maximum period of two weeks. In exceptional circumstances, a student can apply for an additional extension. In such a case, a new Application for Extension must be lodged, and a maximum of two weeks can be granted.
  • If work is not completed by the extended deadline but handed in after the extension due date, the work will be graded according to the policy outlined in 12: Penalties for Late Submission of Assessment Work.
  • When an extension is granted at the end of semester and therefore delays the finalisation of the student’s grade for a semester unit, a Result Withheld will be recorded on the student management system until the grade is finalised.
