Course Extensions and Incomplete Periods

Learners requesting a 30-day course extension are required to submit and pay for the extension request by the last day of the course (see Learner Fees section of this catalog). Extension requests submitted after this date will be denied. Course extensions may only granted once for each registered course. Learners that do not complete the course requirements by the end of the 30-day extension may face the possible consequences of needing to repeat courses to meet the University’s expected academic grade performance requirements. Learners may choose to cancel their request for a 30-day course extension. In order to receive a refund of the extension fee, the cancellation request must be made before the first day of the 30-day extension period. All other cancel requests made on or after the first day of the extension period will not be approved for a refund.

Learners may request a 7-day course incomplete period at no cost as an alternative to a full 30-day extension. Learners are required to request the 7-day incomplete by the last day of the course. The learner must also remain continuously enrolled by remaining registered in their next course for the term immediately following their current course’s term end date. A learner may only take one 7-day incomplete per course. Learners that do not complete the course requirements by the end of the 7-day incomplete period may face the possible consequences of needing to repeat courses to meet the University’s expected academic grade performance requirements.

Both the 30-day extension and the 7-day incomplete are measured in calendar days starting with the day after the course term end date. Learners are not allowed to utilize a 30-day course extension and a 7-day incomplete for the same course and cannot change the 7-day incomplete to a 30-day extension.
