Section 3: Reason for extension

(to be completed by the student)

Note that the Admission Progression and Examination Subcommittee will only consider requests for extension where there has been:

·  For Part-time students in full-time employment only, an increase in their workload due to circumstances beyond their control;

·  Difficulties in research that were beyond the student’s control;

·  Difficulties relating to continuity of supervision;

·  Other exceptional circumstances.

The maximum extension to a period of registration is twelve months aggregate. Requests for extensions beyond twelve months will not be considered. Requests for extension without supporting evidence will not be considered either.

Students are advised that if they have reached the maximum period of registration and no extension is granted then their registration will be terminated on the grounds that it has lapsed. It is essential, therefore, that requests for extension are submitted in good time before the student’s registration lapses.

Students in receipt of funding are advised to check the terms of their scholarship. International students are also advised to check their visa status before making a request for extension.
