04.5 What happens to my request for an extension after I submit it?

Requests for deadline extensions for study programmes undergoing programme accreditation are first reviewed for completeness. If there are any questions or if clarification is needed, the higher education institution that submitted the application will be contacted. Once the completeness review is successfully completed, a decision on your application is typically made within six weeks. Any approved extension will be made publicly visible five days after the decision is made. Entries regarding deadline extensions for study programmes at accredited higher education institutions (system accreditation or Alternative Procedures) are generally published after editorial review; the extension becomes publicly visible five days after publication.
