6.15. Course Extensions
     
     

Course extensions are available for individualized-study courses only. Students who are unable to complete their course during their course contract period may apply for an extension. Each course may be extended up to three times. Each extension is valid for a two-month period.
Note:
Students receiving financial assistance do not adhere to the same contract dates. Refer to Section 5.11.2. Financial Assistance.

Students are required to complete and submit an Extension Request Form and fee for each extension requested. A copy of the form is also included in your learning resources package. Mail or fax your completed form to the address below.

The completed form and fee must be received by Athabasca University, Office of the Registrar, on or before your course contract ends.
Note: Effective September 1, 2005, all extension request forms must be received by the Office of the Registrar a minimum of one month before YOUR course contract ENDs.
The extension starts on the first day of the month following your course contract end date. Students must complete all their course work during the original course contract period or during the extended contract 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”). If students wish to obtain credit for the course, they may reregister and pay the appropriate fee. Both the original registration and the reregistration will appear on the transcript.

Extensions are not available in grouped-study or e-Class® courses.
