Introduction

This form is to be used by students who have reached the end of their scheduled course duration and have not yet successfully completed all course requirements. 

ACBI will only consider granting an extension of studies if the student is at the final stage of their course and is unable to complete the qualification on time due to compassionate or compelling reasons. Course extension requests must be submitted no later than two weeks after the official course end date.

Approved extensions will be backdated to the official course end date, not the date the form is submitted.

If granted, a course extension of up to 4 weeks may be applied. A maximum of two extensions (i.e. 8 weeks total) may be granted depending on the nature and supporting evidence of the student's circumstances.

To apply for a course extension, students must:

• Submit this formal Course Extension Request Form and upload relevant supporting documentation.
• Have no outstanding course tuition fees.
• Have demonstrated a minimum level of academic progression (to be determined by the assessing officer on a case-by-case basis depending on the course and total number of units)
• Agree to follow the revised study plan and meet all assessment deadlines within the extension period.
• Pay any additional fees as outlined in the Schedule of Administrative Fees as outlined on the ACBI website.

If compassionate or compelling circumstances arise during the course, students should apply for a formal suspension of studies not a course extension per ACBI's Student Deferment, Suspension, and Cancellation Policy & Procedure available on the ACBI website.
