Learning Services: Negotiated Deadlines
Students with a disability, medical condition or a SpLD (Specific Learning Difficulty) are not
automatically entitled to an extension to deadlines, but are expected to fully engage with prearranged supports on a regular basis made available through the Learning Support Tutor and
Learning Services, and Module Tutors. This is to ensure that satisfactory work is handed in on
time, and that skills in managing time and the self (a transferable skill for the workplace) are built
on.
Students who have a Learning Support Agreement (LSA) in place are able to register for
extensions through Negotiated Deadlines. This document outlines that process.
The Negotiated Deadline Form is emailed to students with an LSA at the beginning of each
academic year. Students will need to complete and send this form to Registry in order for their
extension to be approved. One form submitted will cover all assessment components for one
module. The form outlines:
- The module that negotiated deadlines are being claimed for
- Module lecturer
- The number of days extension applied for (2, 5, or 10 working days)
- Other considerations that impact the claim, such as recent spell of ill health
The process for applying for negotiated deadlines is as follows:
1. Discussing Support: Students with an LSA meet with the Learning Services Manager at
the beginning of each year to discuss their support provisions
2. Submitting Work: All students aim to submit work on or before the deadline specified in
module handbooks. Deadlines are scattered intentionally to enable students to work fully on
each piece of work. Study Skills and module content support is available to all students.
a. Students who are unable to submit work but don’t have an LSA: claim extenuating
circumstances
b. Students who are unable to submit work and do have an LSA: claim their negotiated
deadline entitlement at least 48 hours before work is due to be submitted
3. The Negotiated Deadline: the Negotiated Deadline form gives student the option as to
how long an extension they require: 2 days, 5 days or 10 days. They must specify which
they choose. The form must be sent to registry to be logged on the M&M form. Without the
form having been sent, no negotiated deadline can be given. Consequently work submitted
beyond the deadline will be capped at 40%.
Negotiated Deadline Registration Form
Negotiated Deadlines exist for students who have a Learning Support Agreement (LSA) through a
diagnosed SpLD, medical condition or disability. Students are expected to engage in Learning Support
provision outlined in the LSA, Learning Services and through the teaching team.
All students should aim to submit work by the deadline outlined in module handbooks. Students with an
LSA who require extra time to complete work must register their Negotiated Deadline by sending this
form to registry@oasiscollege.ac.uk at least 48 hours before the submission deadline. The registration
will be approved upon receipt. One form must be submitted per module being studied, for the same
extension entitlement for all pieces of work. Negotiated Deadlines cannot be claimed for in retrospect.
Late submissions without Negotiated Deadline approval will be capped at 40%.
