  • If you don’t have access to Canvas or the extension tool, download and complete the  Application for Extension of Time for Submission of Assessable Work Form (PDF, 149KB)  and submit it to the  RMIT School  that runs your course. Schools may have different procedures, so check whether the form needs to be submitted to the School Administrative Officer, Course Coordinator (higher education), Program Manager (vocational education) or the teaching staff member who will mark the assessment.

How to ask for an extension for your assignment [examples + template].

By Evans Jun 15 2021

Time management is one thing you should get better at within your academic life, particularly when it comes to assignments.   However, regardless of how much you plan your time or stay organized, things might get out of hand. Read the article below to find why and how to ask for an extension. It also provides examples of how to ask for an assignment extension for your reference.

Are tight deadlines, clashing assignments, and unclear tasks giving you sleepless nights?

Do not panic, hire a professional essay writer today.

What is an Extension Deadline?

An extension deadline for your assignment is the additional time you should request from your supervisor or tutor to finish your task. Most projects have a specific due date, and you should complete them on time. However, there are times when you can fall behind for numerous reasons and can't stay on schedule. At this point, you should reach your instructor and request an extension.

You should request an extension immediately you realize you won't be in a position to meet your original deadline. The deadline might affect other parts of your project, like other team members' abilities to complete the work and the project's completion date. Requesting an extension can offer the supervisor more time to readjust your assignment's workflow and schedule. Some of the situations in which you might request a deadline extension include:

·          The assignment needs more research or work than expected

·          Your project's timeline did not put all factors into consideration

·          You're waiting for essential materials to complete your project

·          You had prioritized the completion of another task

·          You were unable to access the required equipment

·          You had an emergency that stopped you from finishing your assignment

How to Ask for Your Extension

To ask for your extension effectively, kindly do the following:

Determine Whether You Can Get the Extension

Whether it is possible to get an extension depends on your work's scope. While some projects have rigid schedules, it will not matter if you submit a couple of days later when it comes to other projects. Please make sure you understand the flexibility in the deadline and develop a plan for completing your work.

Ask for the Extension

Once you realize you will be behind the deadline, notify your lecturer immediately. Choose the most convenient contact method. You can call them, ask in person, or send an email. Some instructors are too busy to check their mail from time to time, making a text message or phone call a more effective method.

When contacting your instructor, show them that you care about your grades. You can start with a statement about your goal and then why you require the extension.

Determine How Long Your Extension Will Be

Your extension should give adequate time to complete your paper based on how long you have taken to work on it.

Consider your facilitator's personality when determining the duration of the extension to request. If the instructor is strict, leave it to them to decide the time to grant. If you can negotiate with them, you can ask them for a three-day extension and expect the professor to negotiate down. And if the professor is lenient, ask for a specific extension.

Provide Evidence

If you offer proof, your professor will be impressed with your preparedness and is more likely to grant you the extension. Some of the evidence lecturers accept include:

·          A doctor's letter

·          A letter from an employer

·          An email from a child's teacher

·          A receipt from your car or computer repair shop

·          Newspaper clippings

Adhere to Your New Deadline and Ensure It Does Not Happen Again

Analyze your work schedule, avoid procrastination and manage your time better in the future. If possible, scale back on some assignments.

Thank Your Tutor

Express your gratitude for the extension granted and apologize for the inconvenience caused.

Email Template for Requesting More Time to Complete Your Assignment

Feel free to adapt or use this email template to ask for an extension for your assignment

Dear (Title of your Professor, Dr. Mr. Ms., followed by their last name), My name is (name), and I'm a student in your (name) class. I'm writing you to ask if it might be possible to be granted additional time for the (name of assignment) due on (date). Regrettably, I'm behind with this assignment because (reason). I hope to complete this assignment by (date). I look forward to hearing from you about the same. Kind regards, (Your name and student ID number)       

Here are more examples:       

Dear Dr. Andrea,

I'm writing this email to request an extension on the deadline for the web application development assignment. I'm already done with coding, but the testing and debugging are taking more time than I expected. I have also discovered some errors that I'm working on.

I should submit the assignment on June 23, but I will appreciate it if you extend the due date to June 26.

Thank you for your consideration.

Warm regards,

Dear Professor John,

My name is Jackie, and I'm in your chemistry 101 class. Due to a family emergency, I will be traveling over the weekend without the research materials for the assignment due on Wednesday. Consequently, I would like to request an extension and submit my paper on Friday. In the attachment below is a draft that shows the progress I have made so far.

Many Thanks,

Dear Dr. Peterson,

My name is Jane Stephanie, and I'm in your literature class. My assignment is due on the same day as a presentation at my workplace. Do you provide extensions? If you do, I can submit the assignment on July 20 instead of July 16. I understand that late projects receive grade penalties, which I would like to avoid.

Many thanks,

Dear Professional Kellen,

My name is Ivy Johnson, and I'm in your 11 a.m. English class. From the syllabus, I can see that I should submit my assignment on August 13. Unfortunately, I have three other tasks due on that date for other classes.

Is it possible to get a three-day extension on the deadline and submit it on August 16 instead? If you do not grant extensions, can I get the assignment topic early to work on it in advance?

Warm Regards,

What to Do If You Do Not Get an Extension

Most lecturers understand that students are human beings with jobs and lives outside of class. And many instructors will approve any extension request. However, sometimes the professor might say no. Here is what to do should it happen.

If it is a few hours or days to your deadline, ensure you understand the late penalty and determine whether it is more practical to submit your assignment late or rush to meet your deadline. Ensure you deliver pure gold and don't plagiarize your work; it could result in poor grades.

If you had planned early, you have options. You can rearrange your schedule to make time to write your paper, ask your tutor for the paper topics before, or ask for an extension in another class. Alternatively, you can hire an expert writer from our urgent writing service to complete the assignment for you.

Assessment extensions

We understand that on occasion there may be circumstances that prevent you completing and submitting an assessment item by the published due date. In these circumstances, you may be able to apply for an assessment extension .   

Assessment extensions are not available for all assessment items, so check your StudyDesk to confirm that an extension is allowed and appropriate for the specific assessment item before you try to submit your extension request.

If you are experiencing Special Circumstances and an assessment extension is not available for a specific assessment item, you may be asked to complete a deferred and/or varied assessment item instead. You can ask to defer an assessment item using the online Assessment Extension request available in your Student Centre.

Formal Examinations are not eligible for assessment extensions. If you are unable to complete your formal examination due to special circumstances , you may be able to apply for a deferred examination .

A short three (3) calendar day extension is available for many types of assessments and may help you manage short-term interruptions to your study that effect your ability to complete and submit assessment items by the published due date.

A short extension is not allowed for all assessment items. Check your StudyDesk to confirm that an extension is allowed and appropriate for the specific assessment item before you try to submit your extension request.

  • Short extension requests must be submitted by the published due date for the assessment item, using the online form in your Student Centre.
  • The first time you request a short extension on a particular assessment item you won’t need to provide a reason or supporting documents.
  • Note : If the assessment item is a quiz and the published due date has passed, or you have submitted your request outside University business hours, you will need to wait for our confirmation email that your course StudyDesk has been updated to reflect your due date extension. You won’t be able to attempt the quiz before we make the date changes to your quiz link in StudyDesk.
  • The revised due date for the assessment item may or may not be a University Business Day.

A short extension is only available once for eligible assessment items. If you require a further extension for the same assessment item, this will be considered a long extension. You will need to submit a new online request before the revised due date and provide supporting documentation, in accordance with the Assessment of Special Circumstance Procedure .

A long assessment extension of four (4) or more calendar days, is available for many types of assessments and may help you manage special circumstances that have a significant impact on your study and effect your ability to complete and submit assessment items by the published due date, or the revised due date of an approved short extension.  

The Assessment of Special Circumstances Procedure explains how the University decides if a situation meets the criteria to be called a Special Circumstance and provides examples of the types of supporting documents that may need to be provided for a further extension request to be considered. Examples are provided on the  reasons for requesting long extensions and Deferred Assessment  page.

A long extension is not allowed for all assessment items. Check your StudyDesk to confirm that an extension is allowed and appropriate for the specific assessment item before you try to submit your extension request.

  • Long extension requests must be submitted by the published due date for the assessment item, using the online form in your Student Centre.
  • A long extension request must be supported by a statement of circumstances and relevant, acceptable supporting documents, in accordance with the Assessment of Special Circumstance Procedure. 
  • Long extension requests that exceed the maximum number of days allowable for an assessment item will be considered a Deferred Assessment . 

Assessment extension requests will be considered a deferred assessment when one or more of the following occurs.

  • The assessment item is not eligible for an extension, and a deferred assessment is available because of  Special Circumstances , in accordance with the Assessment Procedure .
  • The assessment item is eligible for an extension, however the length and impact of an individual student’s Special Circumstances exceed the maximum long extension available for that assessment item.
  • The assessment item cannot be submitted before the last day of the study period, and the grade for the course cannot be finalised by the published results release date.

The deferred assessment will be equivalent, but may not be identical, to the original assessment item. You may be asked to complete a varied piece of assessment if it is not appropriate to defer the original assessment item. A varied assessment item will assess the same knowledge or skills as the original assessment item.

Deferred Assessment due dates

The revised due date for a deferred assessment is normally after the last day of the study period for your course, and no later than 1 University business day before the start of the next study period in your program. This may have the following implications:

  • An assessment item that is not eligible for an extension and has a published due date early in the study period may instead be approved as a deferred assessment with a revised due date after the study period ends. Extended periods of time between published due dates and revised due dates may impact your time management and how you build and consolidate your knowledge, understanding and skills.
  • Deferred assessment for multiple assessment items in one or more courses, may have the same revised due date. Managing your time effectively will be critical to ensuring your ability to complete multiple deferred assessments by the revised due dates. As the situation allows, we suggest working on your assessments and submitting each one as soon as possible. A penalty will be deducted from your mark for any assessment item submitted late.
  • Submitting deferred assessment on the revised due date does not guarantee that you will receive your final grade before the start of the next study period in your program. You may receive a temporary grade of Deferred Assessment (DA) at results release. If the grade for your course cannot be finalised by the published results release date, your final grade will normally be provided to you by the census date of the next study period in your program, and may impact your future course enrolments and academic progress.

A deferred assessment is not available for an assessment item that has already been deferred . If there are any reasons that might prevent you submitting a deferred assessment item by the revised due date, let us know as soon as possible.

If you have questions about a deferred assessment due date or need advice that is specific to your circumstances, contact the Assessment Support Team for individualised support.

A Supplementary Assessment is an exceptional, additional assessment, such as a supplementary examination or assessment item, that is normally offered to a student who has achieved at least 45% and less than 50% of the marks available for the course.

You are not able to apply for supplementary assessment . UniSQ will determine whether you are eligible and let you know how and when to complete any supplementary assessments.

  • If you are offered a supplementary assessment, your Course Coordinator can answer any questions you may have about the individual supplementary assessment item. 
  • If you require an extension on supplementary assessment because of special circumstances , email a detailed statement of your circumstances to the Assessment Support Team at [email protected]  and attach the relevant, acceptable supporting documentation.

If you have questions and need advice that is specific to your circumstances, contact the Assessment Support Team for individualised support.

Applications for Assessment Extensions or Extenuating Circumstances

Students may request an Assessment Extension if they are unable to complete an assessment task (other than an exam) by the due date because of exceptional circumstances beyond their control. Exceptional circumstances that may warrant approval for an Assessment Extension include but are not limited to:

  • Medical reasons (student injury, illness or medical condition) of such significance that completion of the assessment task was not possible;
  • Family/personal reasons (family injury or illness, bereavement) of such significance that completion of the assessment task was not possible;
  • Employment related reasons: where a student’s employment status or employment arrangements change unexpectedly due to circumstances beyond their control of such significance that completion of the task was not possible. 

(Source: https://policies.anu.edu.au/ppl/document/ANUP_004604 )

However, if you fit into any one of the below circumstances, you should submit an Extenuating Circumstances Application (ECA) instead: 

  • You require more than 10 days’ extension for an assessment item worth more than 20% of the final grade;
  • You require extenuating circumstances taken into consideration during the marking of an assessment item that is already submitted (i.e. special consideration); OR
  • You need to apply for a deferred examination because you are unable to sit an examination due to extenuating circumstances.
  • All requests for Assessment Adjustment (including Requests for Extension and for Consideration of Extenuation Circumstances) should be submitted via ISIS. In ISIS, select Manage My Degree, and then the blue ECA link .

For more information regarding ECA applications please visit the Extenuating Circumstances Application webpage .

When should I apply for Special consideration instead of an extension?

  • The impact of your circumstances requires an extension of more than ten working days and you meet the eligibility criteria for Special consideration.

If you are affected by a chronic, permanent or ongoing illness, disability or hardship, are an Elite Athlete, Elite Performer, Army Reservist or Emergency volunteer you may Register for ongoing support . Your Academic Adjustment Plan (AAP) cannot be applied retrospectively so it is important to have this in place well in advance of any assessment deadlines.

1. Overview

Don't leave assignment writing until the last minute. We encourage you to plan your workload so you can meet assessment deadlines.

If circumstances beyond your control prevent you from submitting an assessment item by the on-time, you can apply for an individual or group extension. Extensions can be requested for assessment items such as:

  • assignments
  • case studies
  • laboratory reports
  • take-home assessments
  • tutorial group assignments, and in some cases
  • oral assessment.

You can't request extensions for:

  • in-semester examinations
  • end-of-semester examinations
  • deferred or supplementary examinations.

If you have been ill or unable to attend class for more than 4 weeks in a semester, we advise you to carefully consider whether you are capable of successfully completing your courses. You might need to consider applying for removal of course .

If you should find yourself in difficulties and are unable to submit an assignment by the due date, it is important that,  before that due date, you request an extension.

Please note: An extension cannot be granted by the School, through its procedures as set out below,  beyond the end of the assessment and examination period for that trimester . For an extension beyond the end of the examination period, students must apply for a  Special Extension of Time .

An extension of up to 7 calendar days can be granted without supporting documentation (although it may be requested). Most units in the School of HASS, with the exception of honours and reading or project units, use the automated extension tool that allows you to self-register for a 7-day extension via the unit myLearn page for most assessments. In the first instance, please use this extension tool. Where the automated extension tool is not available, please use UNE’s extension application portal .

Please note the extension tool will grant 7-days from the original assessment due date, not from the date that you register for the extension.

An extension beyond 7 calendar days will require supporting documentation. These assessments must be applied for through UNE’s extension application portal .

Please note, that should the extension be for beyond the end of a teaching term’s assessment and examination period, a  Special Extension of Time will be required, that must be applied for through the appropriate forum submitted through AskUNE .

Note: Assignments that have received an extension may be returned with a significantly reduced level of criticism and commentary. If an extension is obtained for the final assignment, it is unlikely that the work will be returned before the examination period. Assignments submitted late without an extension may receive a mark only, without commentary.

Personal health issues Signed medical certificate stating: A medical certificate which merely states any of the following is :
Unexpected work or family commitments.

Letter from employer (or a statutory declaration if self-employed).

Statutory declaration if family commitment.

Other extenuating circumstances A statutory declaration and/or other supporting evidence, e.g. death notice, police report.

Assignments received after the due date  WITHOUT an extension of time having been approved will be penalised.

  • Where an assignment is up to 10 calendar days late, a penalty will be imposed of 5% of the total marks for the assessment per day or part thereof. The penalty will accrue on both weekdays and weekends including public holidays (ie. 35% per week).
  • An assignment received more than 10 calendar dates late will receive no marks.
  • Tasks that are mandatory to submit that are submitted more than 10 days late but within the relevant teaching period will be deemed to have been submitted, although receiving no marks.

Students should be aware that late assignments submitted more than one week late may be returned with a significantly reduced level of, or no, feedback.

Please note that if an extension is obtained for the final assignment, it is unlikely that the work will be returned before the examination.

All coursework assignments must be submitted before the end of the examination period for trimester units unless the student has been granted a Special Extension of Time.

Special Assessments

UNE offers Special Assessments where students are unable to meet assessment requirements under specific circumstances.  The Assessment Guidelines state:

Part D - Special Assessments Due to personal health issues, unforeseen technical issues, unexpected work or family commitments or other extenuating circumstances, a student may: a. have an adverse perfomance in an assessment task or examination; or b. be unable to sit an examinatin or complete an assessment task within the relevant teaching period.

Please read the Assessment Guidelines , Part D, to ensure you apply correctly.

If you are unable to sit your exam or if your performance in the exam was severely affected, you may apply for a Special Examination. This is subject to approval, so it is always best that you attend your examination if you possibly can.

If your circumstances do not merit a Special Examination, you may apply for Special Consideration so that the Unit Coordinator can apply some discretion when marking your paper. If you have not sat/will not sit the exam you MUST apply for a Special Exam.

A student who is enrolled in a unit which is not subject to formal examination, or which the formal examination is the basis of a part of the total assessment, and who has been prevented through illness or other unavoidable circumstances from completing, by the specified date, work which the School considers essential, may seek a Special Extension of Time in which to complete the work. Special Extensions of Time apply to an assignment(s) that is unable to be submitted prior to the last day of the relevant examination period.

Forms for applying for any of these Special Assessments are available on the Forms and Procedures page. You can find them towards the bottom of the list under "s".

Reasonable Adjustment Extension Assignments - guidance for Module Leaders

Where a work item is set up in ISIS to feed into Blackboard as an assignment, any approved extension for that work item, will also be set up to be submitted via Blackboard. Marks for extended assignments will not automatically extract to ISIS and need to be given to your School Student Programme and Support (SPS) team to enter manually in ISIS.

This webpage is intended for use by Module Leaders as a guide to what they need to know about the extension assignments in Blackboard - it is not an explanation of the full extension request process.

Who creates the extension assignments?

Your School Student Programme and Support (SPS) team will create the extended assignment in your Blackboard module.

SPS have access to a function in Blackboard which creates a copy of the original ISIS fed assignment but with the agreed extended due date. The function adds an adaptive release rule which only permits specific students to see and submit to the assignment.

Are extension assignments created for Grade Mappings?

No. Extension Assignments are only created for work items set up to be full Blackboard Assignment submissions. If you have a grade mapping work item for which you have manually created an assignment in Blackboard, you will need to manually create an assignment for the extension too.

So that only the relevant student(s) has access to it, you will need to add an adaptive release rule to the extension assignment as follows:

Once you‘ve created the extension assignment, hover over the assignment name and click to open the drop down menu; Select Adaptive Release; the Date section will bring forward the start and dates that you have set in the assignment - leave these as they are; in the Membership section select Browse and select the appropriate student; Submit to save the Adaptive Release rule. The extension assignment will then only be visible to the student you‘ve added in the Adaptive Release rule.

There is full guidance available on manually creating assignments , including adaptive release rules.

How will I know if an extended assignment has been created in my module?

Once the extension is approved by your School SPS, part of that process is to inform both the Module Leader and the student.

Extension assignments for first run assessment work items will be placed in the Assessment area of your module. Extension assignments for resit run assessment work items will be placed in the Resit Materials area of your module.

Extension assignments are prefixed with RA to deadline for a Reasonable Adjustment extension. This prefix is in addition to the original assignment name. For example, with an ISIS fed assignment called ESSAY:2000 word essay, the extension assignment will be called RA to deadline:ESSAY:2000 word essay .

Once the due date has passed, all instructors attached to the module will receive the automated Available for Marking email notification. This will prompt you to looking in the Marking Tools for extension assignment submissions.

Will the student with the extension still see the original assignment submission point?

Yes. Both submission points will be visable to the student.

The student who has the extension will be given clear communication from your School Student Programme and Support (SPS) team on what the extension assignment is called i.e. it will have the appropriate prefix of RA to deadline .

Will the student with the extension receive non-submission emails?

Students who have extension assignments will still receive the non-submission emails regarding the original assignment submission. They will not receive non-submission emails for the extension assignment.

Non-submission emails are only generated for assignments fed from ISIS.

Can I see in Blackboard which student has been given the extension?

You will be informed by your School SPS when an extension assignment has been approved and for which student. In addition, you will be able to see which student(s) have access to the extension assignment by looking at the Adaptive Release rules.

To check the Adaptive Release rules, find the extended assignment in the module and hover over the assignment name, then expand the drop down and select Adaptive Release. Scroll down to the Membership section and you will see a table showing which students have been given access to the assignment.

How do I mark extension assignment submissions?

Please note that the Spreadsheet Marking tool cannot be used for marking extension assignments. Extension assignments should be marked via the Grade Centre - as the extension assignment is separate to the original deadline, it will have it‘s own column in the Grade Centre.

Carry out the marking as you would for other Blackboard assignment submissions. When you release marks and feedback, these will go to the students via Blackboard but the marks will not automatically extract to ISIS. You will need to provide your School SPS team with the marks for extension submissions manually so that they can enter them into ISIS by hand.

COMMENTS
