PREP Application for Extension

Students submitting this application should ensure they have read and understood CPLED’s policies.

CPLED publishes assignment deadlines before registration opens. As a result, CPLED expects that students will properly plan, organize, and manage their time to meet these deadlines regardless of any disruptions they may encounter throughout the program

This form should be used by students to request an extension when they are unable to meet a deadline for a course deliverable due to unforeseen, extenuating circumstances. Submission of this form does not guarantee approval of the extension request. Extension requests are granted at the sole discretion of CPLED and all extension decisions are final.

The factors considered by CPLED in reviewing an extension request include but are not limited to:

Whether the extenuating circumstances referenced are of significant impact, unforeseen, and beyond the control of the student.
Whether the extenuating circumstances referenced render the student functionally unable to meet the assignment deadline.
Whether the extension request includes clear, evidence-based documentation that supports the rationale for the extension. The date range of the supporting documentation must substantiate the date range of the extension request.
Whether the extension request reflects a pattern of missed assignment deadlines or previous extension requests.
Where possible, whether the extension request was made several days before the assignment deadline.
Whether the extension request is reasonable in terms of the program schedule.

CPLED generally considers extenuating circumstances to include medical emergencies, the birth or death of an immediate family member, natural disasters, personal legal obligations, severe personal or family crisis, or other grounds protected under applicable Human Rights law.

CPLED does not generally consider extenuating circumstances to include minor illnesses, common ailments, workload from school or employment, scheduling conflicts, vacations, transportation problems, or technical issues.
Students who are unable to remain in their intake may wish to submit a PREP Application for Withdrawal and request to register in a future intake instead.
