I was surprised to learn that QUT now offers automatic, no-documentation-needed, 48-hour extensions on assignments. It does not apply to group work, presentations, tests and exams. Longer than 48 hours requires more justification and documentation.
Depending on what your circumstances are and what you are seeking, you can apply for: 1. Assignment Extension. * Extension requests will open 48 hours before the assignment due date and close 48 hours after the due date. Some units may not be eligible, please check your unit outline.
