Extension Request Form

Extensions Policy

It is a requirement of a student’s course that all assignments be completed by the due dates set by ACOM and published on Moodle and in the Unit Introduction Book. However, at times, extenuating circumstances will arise that warrant the granting of extension to the scheduled due date. To accommodate such cases, ACOM implements a clear set of guidelines for the fair consideration of requests for extensions, which balances compassion for legitimate requests with equitable treatment of all students.

Before submitting please read the full Late Assignment and Extension Policy in the Student Handbook.

Please know that any personal details you provide will be handled with care and respect by our staff to assist you.

If you are submitting an extension request due to medical illness please ensure you have a dated medical certificate or letter on a letterhead from your Doctor or other health professional detailing your condition and how it impacts your study. You will be required to upload this document during your application.

Please be reminded that circumstances that will NOT normally be considered as acceptable grounds for an extension are:
a. demands of employment;
b. minor family problems such as domestic tension with or between parents, spouses, and other people closely involved with the student;
c. the demands of academic work;
d. financial difficulties;
e. the demands of travel, sport, social commitments or other activities.

If you have any questions please email extensions@acom.edu.au or contact your Student Engagement Manager.
