Extensions to assignment due dates
Extensions to assignment submission dates are not granted for some units.
Please check your Unit Information book for specific unit/course
requirements.
For most units a standard 7-day extension policy is provided. Students
should note the following:
- Requests for an extension of time for submission of an assignment should be made at least two days before the due date of the assignment.
- The Request for extension to assignment due date form and lodgement instructions are available on the Learnonline resource page for your unit.
Extension requests of more than 7 days
- The request for more than 7 day extension to assignment due date form is available on the Learnonline resource page for your unit.
- Requests for more than 7 days extension forms should be emailed to the School Office for a decision (see address details in the ‘Welcome’ section of your Unit Information booklet).
- In requesting an extension of more than 7 days, you are required to include a written statement which explains the reason why this extension is needed and any other supporting documentation. For example, if your reason is health-related, you should attach a medical certificate.
