Application for Time Extension for Course Work
  • Application for Time Extension for Course Work

    The academic office team is open 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday, and we only process requests during that period. Please allow at least 2 working days prior to your due date for your request to be processed. 
    • Guidance notes to read before completing this form for the first time: 
    • 1. Please read all instructions on this form carefully, particularly to see whether or not you need to upload evidence to support your application - your submission is unlikely to be processed without the necessary items.

      2. The Mitigating Circumstances committee meets regularly and aims to have your request back to you within 7 days. However, you should always apply earlier rather than later, as applying close to a deadline runs the risk of not having a decision by the time your assessment is due.

      3. All applications are review anonymously - only the Secretary of the Mitigating Circumstances Committee will be aware of your identity. This means that if you don't put information on the form, you cannot assume the Committee will already know the circumstances of your request. Please try to put as much information in the 'reasons for your application' as you think will be useful in making a decision.


      IMPORTANT: 

      4. Extensions are generally available only for Mitigating Circumstances in these categories:

      - Health (accompanied by Doctor's Note or similar medical document)
      - Assessed Learning Need, Disability, or Long-term Health Condistion (as confirmed with the Learning Enhancement Coordinator)
      - Other unforeseen reasons

    • Additional Help: do I need to upload supporting documents? 
    • A request due to Health reasons

      Yes, you will need to supply a supporting document (such as a medical note). Please ensure that the document gives as much detail as possible. You must also make sure that your supporting statement ("Details of circumstances", above) provides enough detail for the Mitigating Circumstances Committee to make its decision.

      There are some exceptions.
      If you:
      - have a pre-existing medical condition (chonic or other long-impact)
      and
      - you have already supplied evidence of this condition for an extension request made in the last 12 months
      and
      - your condition has not significantly changed
      you do not need to supply a new medical note. However, you may still supply other supporting documentation which helps us understand the impact your condition has had on your ability to complete assessment(s) listed above.


      A request due to Assessed Learning Needs

      No, you do not need to supply supporting documents as long as your Learning Need has been assessed and registered with the NTC Learning Support Co-ordinator.

      If you have not had a Learning Need assessed, you cannot apply for an extension on these grounds. You must get your suspected Learning Need (physical and/or mental) assessed - the Learning Support Co-ordinator will be able to assist you to get this assessment. You must select "Other Reasons" or "Health Reasons", whichever is appropriate to your situation.

      If you have an assessed Learning Need but have not registered this with the college, please contact the Learning Support Co-ordinator as soon as possible. You may be able to apply for an extension at this stage.

       


      A request due to Other reasons

      We strongly recommend that you supply a supporting document, although this is not technically required. A statement from your course tutor, the Chaplain, your Pastoral Care Group leader or another third party may be useful. You should also give us copies of anything else which may support your request . Please ensure that any document gives as much detail as possible. You must also make sure that your supporting statement ("Details of circumstances", above) provides enough detail for the Mitigating Circumstances Committee to make its decision.

  • Reason(s) for Extensions Beyond Limit for Assessed Learning Need, Disability, or Long-term Health Condition

    If you are registered with the Learning Enhancement team, you will automatically get a 1-week extension on any essay. Any time requested beyond this due to a mitigating circumstance will be considered by the mitigating circumstances committee. For example, if you have dyslexia, you can get a one-week extension. If you also needed an extra week due to having the flu, then together you need to apply for two weeks on the "New Submission Date Requested" below. This new date will then be forwarded to the committee.
