Built-in Exam & Assignment Extension Tool

When less than 3 days (72-hours) remain before the deadline to submit the exam or assignment:

• In-classroom learners have the ability to request a 24-hour extension for any assignment*
• Remote learners have the ability to request a 24-hour extension for any exam or assignment

*Important: The 24-hour self-service extension feature is not available for exams for in-classroom learners. Please contact your school’s Outlier Educator to discuss extension options for your in-classroom exam.

When the exam or assignment deadline is closing within 3 days, the ability to request an extension becomes available on the course homepage and student dashboard.

Click on “Extend Deadline”, and you will then be directed to the extension request page, where you are asked to complete a short form.

After submitting the form, you will see a message on the top right of the page that mentions the course name, the specific assessment title, and the updated deadline.

Extensions Beyond 24-Hours

Please note that extensions beyond 24 hours may require supporting documentation.

• In-classroom learners should contact their Outlier Educator for extensions beyond 24-hours.
• Remote learners may contact Outlier Student Success via the teal '?' in their Outlier course to request an extension beyond 24-hours.

Extensions to a Final Exam/Assignment

If you are approved for an extension, be sure to complete all quizzes (including additional quiz attempts) by the original Final Exam due date or course close date. Once the original deadline has passed, all quizzes will close.

Course Extensions

Generally, it is not possible to extend the end date of your course. If you are experiencing a hardship that impacts your ability to finish your course on time, please reach out to your school’s Outlier Educator as soon as possible to discuss your available options.
