If you need more time to complete an assignment, you are able to request an extension for an assignment by clicking on the Request an extension button. 

Below you will find step-by-step instructions on how to request an extension.

⚠️ NOTE: Each extension request applies to a specific assignment, and not the module as a whole. You can only request an extension before the original due date passes.

Step 1: Locate the Extension Button

  • Go to the main content page of the module where your assignment is located.
  • Click on the Request an extension button on the main content page. 

Step 2: Complete the Extension Request Form
Once you click the button, you’ll be directed to the Request activity extension form. Here’s how to complete it:

  • Reason for Request: 
    From the drop-down box next to Reason, select a descriptor that best describes the nature of the circumstance that caused your need for an extension.

  • New Due Date: 
    From the drop-down box next to Duration, select a date and time you will be able to submit your assignment by.









Step 3: Submit Your Request
Click on Submit to proceed.

Step 4: Review and Confirm Your New Due Date

A pop-up will appear showing:

  • Review your new proposed due date.
  • The time you have until you have to submit. 

Click on the I Accept button to confirm.

After submitting, you’ll be taken to a page showing the outcome of your request. You can now continue your studies and submit your assignment by the new deadline (if approved).
