Time extensions are available for individualized-study courses
only. Students who are unable to complete their 0- or 3-credit course
in 6 months or their 6-credit course in 12 months, can apply for
a 2-month extension. Each course may be extended up to 3 times.
Each extension is valid for a 2-month period.
Students are required to complete and submit an Extension Request Form and fee for each extension request.
An Extension Request Form is available in your learning resources package.
The completed form and fee must be received by AU on or before your course contract
date. The extension starts on the first day of the month following
the end of the course contract date. Students must complete any oral
telephone quizzes during the original course contract period or during
the extended period when tutor support is available.
Students who fail to complete their course, and who do not apply
for an extension by the required deadline, will receive a course
failure
(“F”). Students may reregister and pay the appropriate
fee if they wish to obtain credit for the course. Both the original
registration and the reregistration will appear on the transcript. Extensions are not available in grouped-study or e-Class® courses. Students receiving financial assistance do not adhere to the
same contract dates. Refer to Section 5.11.2., Financial
Assistance.
