Our closest match to your question:
Can I request an extension?
Undergraduate 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 3 times, and each extension is valid for a 2-month period. The extension starts on the first day of the month following your course contract end date. Students with course extensions must complete all course work by the end date of the extension period.
Extensions for non-funded and part-time funded students
Course extensions for non-funded and part-time funded students can be requested up to the last day of the course contract period.
- Log into myAU, and choose "Apply for a Course Extension" under the "Manage your Courses" options. You will need to pay the relevant fee online.
Extensions for full-time loan-funded students
Course extensions for full-time funded students receiving government financial aid can be requested up to 30 days before the course contract end date.
If you are a full-time funded student and want to request an extension, you must contact the Student Awards and Financial Aid unit of the Office of the Registrar before your last month starts. Extensions to full-time funded students’ courses can affect the full-time eligibility for funding for current and future funding terms.
Submit a Course Extension Request Form and include the appropriate fee for each extension requested. Mail or fax your completed form to the Office of the Registrar. Full-time funded students are not able to extend courses online. Please review the information about Student Financial Aid course extensions on the Support Services site.
