Extensions
The University recognises that sometimes students are unable to meet assessment deadlines due to unforeseen circumstances, or have significant personal or medical issues.
If your circumstances are preventing you from submitting your coursework on time, you can apply for a coursework extension. An extension gives you extra time to complete and submit a piece of work, agreed between you and your tutor or module leader.
Students may request an extension to an assessment deadline using the extension to
coursework application form which can be found here. The request should be made to the module leader in
advance of the deadline. The module leader has the discretion to grant an extension of
up to five university working days.
Requests should be made to your module leader in as timely a manner as possible; this means that the extension request should be submitted 24 hours in advance of the deadline at the latest. Requests received after the date and time that the work is due to be submitted will not be considered.
Please Note: An extension will not be granted where a student’s own organisational abilities have caused an issue with meeting a deadline. These include poor time management, failure of IT equipment, uploading incorrect information to Turnitin, commitments to paid or voluntary employment and other similar situations.
