Not necessarily - please check carefully beforehand that any assignments you are considering requesting an extension for are eligible as this is not always the case (this includes group projects unless you are working on these and submitting as an individual). You can check this by going to: 鈥� and searching for the module (e.g. HI153) with the correct academic year, clicking on the 鈥楢ssessment鈥� tab and seeing if it says 鈥榊es (extension)鈥� or 鈥楴o鈥�. If you are not sure, please contact the History Office.

You should submit your request at least two working days before your deadline (but no more than five working days before, if using a self-certification). The History Office then aims to respond to extension requests as soon as possible, and within three working days via Tabula. Please note that there may be some delays during exceptionally busy assessment periods as staff will be processing a high volume of extension requests.

Working days are days in which the History Office is open. They are sometimes referred to as 鈥渦niversity working days鈥�. They include days outside of term time, but exclude weekends, bank holidays, and any formal university closure days around Christmas. Therefore a 5 working day extension is usually 7 actual days, and 10 working day extension is usually 14 actual days (for example, if your assignment is due on a Wednesday at 12noon and you are requesting a Specific Extension of 5 working days, and there are no bank holidays / office closures in that time, then it will be due in the following Wednesday at 12noon).

Yes, you can. If you have eligible evidence, it is best to request a specific extension instead. Self-certifications are designed to support you with short-term difficulties that affect your ability to meet a deadline, and these do not need evidence.

No, you will need to make a request for each assignment you feel is impacted by your circumstances. However, for self-certification, you can list multiple assessment deadlines which fall within a period of five working days.

No, you must request an extension via Tabula using the 鈥楢ssignments鈥� tab, or the 鈥楶ersonal circumstances鈥� tab for self-certifications. However, if you have any issues with Tabula, you should email the History Office.

This depends on the circumstances but, generally speaking, your evidence needs to:

• demonstrate impact
• be independently verifiable
• be dated
• confirm your identity.

Evidence should be attached to your request in the form of documents (.pdf, .docx), screenshots or images (.jpg, .png). We cannot open any other files types (including HEIC or .pages files) so please do not submit these. Please read the University鈥檚 Code of Practice of Evidence Requirements for Mitigating CircumstancesLink opens in a new window, which we also use for extensions, for further information and useful examples.

The start date of the self-certification period can be any date between the date on which you鈥檙e applying, and five working days in the future, inclusive. The end date of the self-certification period is automatically calculated as five working days from the start date. So, if you self-certify on a Monday (day one), the self-certification period will end on the Friday (day five) of that week. Please read the Self-certify - Tabula manual - IT ServicesLink opens in a new window step-by-step guide.

Flexibility with deadlines as a reasonable adjustment is a recommendation from Disability Services, which advises students to follow standard departmental processes. In History, flexibility with deadlines as a reasonable adjustment allows you access to an extension of five working days without the need to provide further evidence. However, all students must follow standard departmental processes to access the maximum 10 working days granted for an exceptional extension.

Please note, extensions policies may differ between departments.

If serious circumstances are preventing you from meeting your assignment deadlines within the maximum 10 working-day extension period, you should contact your Personal Tutor and / or the History Office as soon as possible. You may be advised to consider submitting a Mitigating CircumstancesLink opens in a new window application, which is a separate, additional measure to support students who are facing unexpected and difficult situations during their studies. This may be a useful route if your situation continues to impact your studies.

Unfortunately, no. Requests made after the deadline will not be approved. However, if you were already granted an extension, and need an exceptional extension of a further five working days, please use the 鈥楻eview extension request鈥� button in the 鈥楢ssignments鈥� tab of Tabula, and / or contact the History Office to discuss further.

No, if you are a joint honours student, or are studying an external module, the policy on extensions in the other department may vary.

• If your home department is not History, but you are studying a History module, your extension request will be processed by the History Office according to History鈥檚 extensions policy.
• If your home department is History, but you are studying an external module, your extension request will be processed by the school or department delivering that module. Please consult the extensions policy for that department.
