Extension Request
Breathe: Life Happens
An extension request enables students to advocate for their needs while promoting "reasonable" student behavior. Life happens. So sometimes we need a second chance. Establishing a clear channel of communication between teacher and student is important to maintain a respectable relationship. Therefore, to submit an extension request, the following questions below must be answered and written into the the message via Canvas Inbox. I will respond to your message within 12 hours.
Questions to answer in your message via Canvas Inbox:
Check-In: Are you OK?
Request: What assignment will you need an extention?
Action: What do you propose as a solution to the delay in submitting the assignment?
Goal: How can you hold yourself accountable? (What is a fair consequence if you can not meet your own solution?)
Support: What support do you need from me to meet your goal?
Example:
Dear Professor,
I am OK. I'm just dealing with a lot of stress.
I would like an extension to Unit 1 Assessment.
I propose to submit my work by Monday evening.
I will make sure to manage my time better for the next unit. If I do not meet my Monday deadline, I will accept a 10% penalty. But I will make sure to submit my next unit assessment a day early to remove my penalty.
I just need you check on my my incomplete unit 1 work to see if I'm on the right track.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely, Selena Quintana
