Applying for an Extension
Thesis-based and project-based students who have reached or will soon reach the time limit of the program without completing program requirements should meet with their supervisor to discuss a plan and timeline for completion, using the Request for Extension Guide. Once a plan has been drafted, it should be distributed to the advisory committee, and an advisory committee meeting should be scheduled to discuss, finalize, and approve the plan. The plan must also be approved by the program's Graduate Chair.
For more information about program disruptions and applying for an extension, visit the
Grad HUB. Course-based students, as well as project-based students who do not have a supervisor and committee, should meet directly with the Graduate Chair to discuss an extension and submit their request.
When making a request to extend time in program, please ensure you are selecting the correct ticket; that is, whether it is a student's first or second request for extension.
You will need to include important information for the student, including detailed explanation of reasons for delay, plans to address the issues, a timeline for completion, and any recent meeting minutes that are relevant.
Use the green links on the right side of the screen to begin a request for either a first extension or second extension.
