Please read the following instructions before making your application
HOW TO APPLY - Undergraduate and Postgraduate Taught Programmes and taught modules taken by Postgraduate Research students
-
Make sure an extension is the correct solution for your current situation. Remember, you have a limited number of extensions to use each year. If you don't think you will be able to submit your work, even after an extension is approved, you might be better off applying for Extenuating Circumstances.
-
Think carefully about how long you need - extension requests cannot be amended, extended or withdrawn.
-
Complete and submit your Extension Application Request. (link below or directly via Campus Connect - in the My Studies tab) You will be asked for your Royal Holloway login details to access the system. You will need to know the module number, assessment name and published submission date/time.
-
You will be asked to indicate the reason you need an extension and to include brief details of your circumstances for monitoring purposes. All information will be treated confidentially.
-
You can save your application as you go but you must press submit when complete. The submit button is on the right at the bottom of the form.
-
The system will indicate how many extensions you have remaining for the academic year and will also tell you if an assessment is exempt from extensions.
-
The system will only show you assessments for modules you are registered on and that are due for submission in the next 5 working days.
-
You will receive an outcome very soon after submitting your application. You will receive an email to confirm your application has been processed and the outcome is available and/or you can look in the 'My Applications' section of the Extension System. Please be patient, your outcome will usually be available within a couple of minutes, but occasionally the system may take a little longer. Please only contact the extensions team if you cannot see your outcome after a couple of hours.
-
Requests can be made up to 5 working days before and up to the submission deadline.
-
You cannot submit an extension request after the original deadline has passed.
This will take you to Campus Connect - the extension system is accessed in your My Studies Tab.
