All extension requests must be made via the student's SBC/ DPC, who will contact the student's Pamoja teacher on the student's behalf. The request must include the reason for the extension (e.g., illness, school trip, etc.).
Requests should be submitted at least 48 working hours before the due date, except in cases of genuine emergencies (e.g. illness).
Teachers may approve extensions once a request has been submitted or formally confirmed by the SBC/DPC.
Teachers should not approve extension requests made solely by students. If contacted by a student, teachers will acknowledge the message and remind them to request via their SBC/DPC.
Requests for extensions on any IA component must be made by the SBC and submitted to courses@pamojaeducation.com.
