A coursework extension lets you hand in your work late (after the deadline) without a penalty or needing to re‑take the assessment later. Further information about this policy is available here UPR AS12 Appendix 1 Section 4.2.
Key points
Extensions are not automatic – you must ask for permission.
Maximum extension: 7 days (standard)
10 days (if you have a Student Needs Agreement)
Some assessments may not allow extensions or may allow fewer days.
How to request an extension
Check your module/programme information for the right process.
Write your request with reasons (no evidence needed).
State how many days you are asking for (up to 7 or 10).
You can request any time before the deadline. Expect a reply within 2 working days.
Feedback and results
If granted, feedback will be returned within 4 weeks after the maximum extension period ends, no matter when you submitted.
