MSc Extension request form
This form is only for MSc students requesting an extension for Social Policy (SP) SUMMATIVE assessments; if you wish to apply for an extension for an outside course, please contact the relevant department for guidance.

Assessment(s) you would like to request an extension for
Please state the course assessment(s) you would like to request an extension for, and the length of extension required (you can request either 4, 7 or up to a maximum of 14 calendar days), using the same format as the following example: SP410 Summative Essay, 7 days.

(Please think realistically about how much of an extension you will need so that you do not need to come back for additional extensions. Additional extensions are usually only granted in very exceptional circumstances. Be aware that extensions will normally be for short periods of time.)

Your circumstances must be sudden, unforeseen, out of your control and proximate to the assessment(s) in question).
Please upload your supporting evidence here
Extension requests must be accompanied by evidence which meets the LSE Standards of Evidence to support your request.
