Extensions

During a term, a student may need a due date or time limit extension for HW, quizzes, or exams. Extensions can be adjusted for the individual student or an entire class. The purpose of this page is to help you grant an extension in the Pearson platform. Reach out to the college directly if you have specific questions about college policy regarding extensions.
