What does it do?
It allows you to request an extension on to the deadline for piece of coursework by attaching relevant information.
Your request will be considered and you will be notified of the result via email, Myplace notice and push notification on the University's Mobile App (if you are logged in using your DS username).
For further information on what are appropriate reasons for a request and the rest of the extension requests policy see here.
For now, it is only possible to request an extension through Myplace for assignment activities, which are represented by this icon

If the extensions tool has been disabled or the coursework is not available in Myplace, please refer to your course handbook for guidance. |
When can I apply for an extension?
Extension requests will normally be made in advance of a coursework submission deadline. In exceptional cases, students may apply for an extension retrospectively. Students are encouraged to communicate to staff any circumstances that are negatively impacting their studies as early as possible.

Guidance on circumstances which may be grounds for an extension can be found in the Policy and Procedure on Extensions to Coursework Submission. However, the list in the document does not try to cover every possible scenario - it simply provides examples. Students should not be discouraged from submitting a request if they do not see their situation described. |
