Homework Extension
Education
Let students request extra time with the assignment, original due date, a reason category, and a short explanation.
Extension DMs that say “can I have more time?” skip the original due date, so the teacher has to open the LMS twice. This GRTforms template asks for the assignment, the dates, and a reason category so the reply can be a yes with a timestamp.
Who it is for
Instructors, department chairs, and online-course teams who grant extra time case by case.
When to use it
Use it when an extension is a request, not an automatic LMS rule. Tutoring Request is help doing the work. Accessibility Request is an ongoing accommodation, not one deadline.
What this form collects
Student identity, course, assignment, original and requested dates, reason category, whether they already wrote, and a short explanation.
- College LMS “request extra time” link
- High-school teacher policy page
- Bootcamp assignment desk

Frequently asked questions
Does this change the due date in the gradebook?
No. The instructor still updates the LMS. The form is the request so the conversation is not buried in a private comment.
Should chronically late work use this form?
You can say no in the intro. Point repeating cases at Accessibility Request or your academic-support office instead of collecting a twelfth story here.
Can students attach a doctor’s note?
Add a file field after you clone the template if your policy requires documentation. Many teams decide from the dates and the reason category alone.
