Extensions

The MCD Academic Conduct policy provides for two forms of extension.

Lecturer’s Extension
A lecturer may grant an extension for an assignment when satisfied there are reasonable grounds and that the approved extension will not give undue advantage to the student.

Lecturer’s extensions are not permitted beyond the final day of the semester or, for Winter Intensives, beyond the third week of the following semester.

An extension should be applied for no later than three days prior to the work being due.

Extension application forms can be downloaded from the CTC website or obtained from the student common room and must be signed by the lecturer concerned.

For seminarians the Seminary Dean of Studies must sign the form before presentation to the lecturer.

The signed form is then attached to the submitted work.

Assignments received after the due date without an approved extension will be marked at the discretion of the lecturer.

Dean’s Extension
The Academic Dean may grant an extension beyond the final day of the semester when there are medical or serious pastoral grounds for this, and when satisfied that no undue advantage or disadvantage may occur for the student.

Dean’s extensions are not permitted beyond the first day of the following semester.

A Dean’s extension should be applied for no later than three days prior to the work being due and, in the case of extension on medical grounds, students must present a medical certificate.

Extension application forms can be downloaded from the CTC website or obtained from the student common room.

For seminarians the Seminary Dean of Studies must sign the form before presentation to the Academic Dean.

The Dean consults with the lecturer before granting an extension.

The extension and its conditions are recorded on the application form and signed by the Dean and the student with copies retained by both.

The signed form is then attached to the submitted work.
