Extensions
- Extensions for assessment exercises will only be granted in exceptional circumstances. Progress on the assessment items is expected throughout the teaching period. Early communication of problems is strongly advised.
- Extensions will not be granted for:
- Workload (e.g., study load and/or paid or voluntary work)—such problems should be anticipated
- Technical problems (e.g., lost/corrupted/damaged storage media, software/internet access problems, and viruses)—keep multiple and regular backups
- Undocumented issues
- Submit extension requests via the online "Extension application form" available in the UCLearn site. Include documentary evidence that covers the length of requested extension.
- Submit a separate request for each assessment item for which extension is sought
- The unit convener will consider the request and advise the outcome. If approved, the new due date will appear in UCLearn.
- For further information about extension requests, see:
- Assessment Policy section 3.19
- Assessment Procedure section 181-192 for summative assessment and 193-200 for exams
