Extension to Assessment Deadline Policy

Purpose

To give a student the opportunity to apply for an extension.
Scope
  • Faculty of Arts on all campuses
  • all undergraduate and graduate/postgraduate coursework programs
  • all Arts staff and Arts coursework students
Policy Statement The Faculty of Arts recognises that the management of deadlines is an important aspect of learning and teaching. A student may request a 2 day extension for short-term illness, clashing deadlines, unforeseen employment obligations, or family circumstances which would not require any documentation.

Please note: For extensions of 3 or more days, or for sudden illness and unforeseen circumstances affecting final pieces of assessment or exams, Special Consideration should be sought. Students suffering from chronic illness or long-term disability are eligible for alternative assessment arrangements which can be arranged by registering with the University's Disability Liaison Unit.
