Extra Time Learning Adjustments

Accessing your extra time adjustment

The Extra Time Adjustment Tool (ETA)

Extra time is not applied to your assessments automatically when you have an extra time learning adjustment in place. You must request extra time for each assessment that you require it for.

Requests are made using the ETA tool, accessible via the Disability Support page in MyEd or via the Assessment Support Tool. 

Read our step-by-step guide on making a request

Requesting multiple adjustments for the same assessment

Each adjustment must be requested separately, even if they are for the same assessment. The ETA tool will only process one adjustment at a time.

Deadlines for accessing extra time adjustments

You must request your learning adjustment before the coursework deadline.

If you have been granted an extension, your application must be made before the new deadline you have been granted. 

Applications made after your coursework deadline will not be accepted, however, if you have experienced an adverse situation beyond your control, you may be able to make a special circumstances application. 

How much extra time is available

If your assessment permits extra time adjustments, you may be given between 1 and 7 extra days of extra time for submission.

The amount of time available is decided by the School. 

Confirmation

Your extra time adjustment will be applied to your assessment immediately once you submit your request through the ETA Tool. 

Group assessments

Please note that Extra Time Learning Adjustments cannot be extended to other group members.

Additional support for assessments

Extra time for exams

You may be able to get extra time for your exams. The ETA tool does not handle this type of learning adjustment application. 

If you need extra time for exams, contact your School directly.
