Extensions

Options for Weekly Problem Sets

For weekly problem sets, extensions will only be granted in the most extenuating of circumstances—this is because you are not even required to finish them all!

Each problem set is worth 1% for a maximum attainable total of 5%, even though there are eight of them.

Options for Assignments, MST, and Exams

Short extension (1-3 working days)

If you need an extension, you will need to refer to official FEIT policy.

For extensions between 1 to 3 working days, students may complete the FEIT online declaration form. The Online Declaration Form covers most written assessments, and must be submitted before the assignment due date. The Online Declaration form does not require any medical documentation from students at time of submission, but this could be asked for at a later date. Extensions applied for through the FEIT system are not automatically approved. Please look for an e-mail from your subject coordinators to confirm that your extension has been granted.

Special Consideration (4+ working days, or alternative)

If you need more than 3 working days, or alternative considerations for an assignment, you will need to submit a request on the Special Consideration Portal. The Special Consideration application will require students to provide supporting documentation for their circumstance. The full application must be submitted within four working days of the assessment due date; it can be submitted in advance of the due date if you know you will be impacted. Special Consideration is not automatically granted. They are assessed by Student and Scholarly Services (SASS) and passed to FEIT if you are found eligible for consideration.

Academic Adjust Plans (AAP)

If you require long term considerations due to an on-going circumstance, the University requests you register for an AAP . AAPs allow for a variety of on-going considerations to best facilitate your learning in our course. If you have an AAP please submit it to us here. You can also find this link on the course Canvas, right under the syllabus video. Please make sure you send us your AAP information as soon as possible so we can adapt appropriately.
