6. You can submit an extension request via My Student Record. It may not be possible to facilitate an extension for presentations, practical work assessments, group work, time-bound assessments, etc. You are advised to contact a Student Support Adviser to discuss whether it is possible to have an extension for these types of assessments.

The extension request should normally be submitted no later than 24 hours before the submission deadline for the assessment. Requests made after this time may not be considered. You will not be required to provide any evidence of your caring commitment as part of this process.

7. You will normally be granted an extension of up to 10 days. The length of time permitted will be dependent upon whether it is possible to mark and moderate the work before the assessment board deadline.

8. Where a 10-day extension is not sufficient, a Student Support Adviser can grant an extended deadline to the next reassessment period (i.e. the equivalent of a deferral) via My Student Record.
