Extension Request Form

University of Cambridge

 Extension Request Form

You can request a ‘7 days self-certified’ extension, or a longer, certified, extension. 


Please state the extension you require below. If you are not self-certifying, please also include the reason for the extension – you will be required to provide supporting evidence.


Extensions will normally only be considered for the actual amount of time lost. Extensions may delay the marking of your assignments.


If you are an MSt student/apprentice, you must also inform your College Tutor if you submit a Self-Certification Form.

If you are an Undergraduate or Postgraduate student, you must also inform your Module Lead/Course Director if you submit a Self-Certification Form.

Please contact the course administration team if you have any questions about this process.


See also the guidance in the relevant student handbook for your course.


If your original submission deadline has already passed, you will not be able to request an extension via this form. Please contact your course administration team for information on the options available to you at this stage. 


If you require an extension for more than one week you will need to provide evidence to support your request, for example a doctor’s note. Please email your evidence to extensions@ice.cam.ac.uk immediately after submitting this form, in order for your request to be considered. 


All documentation will be treated confidentially within ICE and will only be viewed by those necessary in the decision-making process.
If no evidence required, please state N/A in this field
