What are Extensions?

If you are unable to hand work in on time, due to an unforeseen reason that is beyond your control, you may request an extension which can give you extra time to complete your work. You need to apply in advance of the deadline.  If the deadline has passed, please check the ASA Moodle Page to find  out your alternative options.You will also need to provide evidence of the situation and how it has impacted your studies.

Your application will be processed within 3 working days. You can apply using the Online Extension Application Form

For further extension related information and examples of suitable evidence, please visit the ASA Moodle Page.

FYI:

For Students within The school of Nursing and Applied Health, (SONAH) there are professional requirements that affect the time allowed to submit your work through extensions so please speak to your tutors before applying for a one week extension on the above link.

For Foundation Year Students, please consult your course information and follow the special link for Foundation Year Student Extension applications.
