Short Extension or Special Consideration Application
Use this form to apply for a short extension of two calendar days or special consideration for eligible assessment types (except for scheduled final assessments).
Who should use this form
Short extension
You can apply for a short extension of two calendar days for most assessments (assignments, essays, projects, etc.), but some assessments are not eligible (e.g. group assessments mid-semester test or a scheduled final assessment). You are not required to provide supporting documents.
Special consideration
You can apply for special consideration of generally more than two calendar days for eligible assessments (excluding a scheduled final assessment). You will need to provide supporting documents.
When to submit this form
You must apply as soon as possible and by 11.55pm on the day your assessment is due. If you miss the deadline for a short extension, you’ll need to apply for special consideration instead.
For more details about this process, including the required supporting documents or how to apply to defer a scheduled final assessment (a separate application), go to our extensions and special consideration website.
