A coursework extension is available to students facing unforeseen circumstances that impact their studies. You can apply for a single extension or a special circumstance using the Assessment Support Tool. Sometimes schools put a limit on the amount of additional time available for assessments which means that you may not be able to apply for an extra time learning adjustment and an extension on some assessments. If you feel that a coursework extension might be needed in conjunction with your learning adjustment, please contact your school or the ESC team for guidance.
