Individual faculty members may grant extensions up to two weeks past the syllabus due date, but rarely and only in unusually extenuating circumstances. Please note that school, family, ministry commitments or busyness do not qualify as extenuating circumstances for an extension.

If a faculty member has denied an extension request, or if a student would like to request an extension longer than two weeks past the syllabus due date, the student can submit an academic appeal through Academic Services. The student’s request will be decided according to the Academic Appeals Process.

Important note: Acquiring an extension according to the policy above is solely the responsibility of the student.
