This page discusses how the extension request function will work. This feature is new to Myplace for academic year 2019/20.
How will it work?
It allows students to make an extension request through Myplace.
This image to the right is what students will see when filling in the extension request form.
Note it is possible to append faculty-specific information to the initial text. Please contact the Myplace team if you would like to use this facility.
Once a student has submitted a request, staff will be notified via an email which will provide links to access the request form.
The student's extension request will be displayed. Fill out the form and click save. Students will be notified of the outcome by Myplace notice (and therefore also by email) and by push notification in the Strathclyde Mobile App if they have it and are logged in.
Extension Request Report
From the course administration tab select 'Reports' then 'Extension Requests'
You will then be shown the extension requests for that class. You can also select to 'view user report' to see other late submissions by that student.
Disabling the Extension Request Function
For new assignments:
When configuring a new assignment, there will be a section in the settings where a checkbox can be selected to disable student extensions
For previously created assignments:
Turn editing on then select the 'edit' button beside the assignment and then 'edit settings'. Then go to the section for extension request policy where a checkbox can be selected to disable student extensions.
