We're serious about our deadlines - they ensure that you're making progress towards the final paper and give you a roadmap for the program. However, we also understand that other things sometimes get in the way! To balance the importance of staying on track with the reality of unexpected events, we have an extension policy for all students during the course of the program.

At the start of the program, we share a schedule of all deadlines and workshops. Please read through this and note down the dates! They're important milestones for you to achieve in the program.

If you don't think you'll be able to make a deadline, you are expected to let us know as early as possible.

• If the deadline extension is for a previously-scheduled event (e.g. a school exam or a family vacation), please let us know at the start of the program.
• If the deadline extension is for an unexpected reason (e.g. your data analysis is taking longer than you thought it would, or you have had a sudden increase in schoolwork), you can request an extension using the Extension Request Form.
• But, please note that you will be allowed to apply for this extension no more than TWICE during the entire course of the program. If you take any extensions beyond this limit, you will lose a letter grade in your final evaluation.
• If you get more than 24 hours late in making a certain submission, you will lose a letter grade in your final evaluation.
• In any other exceptional cases, please reach out to your CR Liaison directly.

IMPORTANT: Please note that requesting more than 2 extensions over the course of your program will result in a drop of your letter grade in the evaluation of your final project (e.g. if you were originally going to get an A-, it will become a B+; if you were going to get a B+, it will become a B etc.)
