REF:66-2111-9715811 - Applying for extensions

Your comment: Generalised suggestion, but I think it's important for departments to follow the same length time for applying for extensions, Likewise extensions or special procedures should be done in freshers weeks to reinsure some students like me who have mental health conditions linked to stress that could worsen their symptoms. i.e one of my department was to apply in a week to the deadline date to me made me more stressful and worsened my mental health whilst another department took my requests weeks before the deadline. When they did give me weeks before it reduced my anxiety and helped me to relax a little,

Our response:

Thank you for your comments. Extension requests are considered by the designated officers within each academic department, and I would advise you to raise any specific concerns with your department. We will also take note of your comments as part of an ongoing review of University processes for student special circumstances and coursework extensions.
