After a successful trial and a lot of hard work from everybody involved, 3-day no-document extensions are finally being rolled out this August!

Students across every faculty will be able to apply for extensions of up to three days on individually submitted assignments, which will be approved automatically! Things happen, and sometimes it is just not possible to get a last minute medical certificate, and this change will help so many students get that extra little bit of support.

Alongside this, there will be new functionality for "doc-lite" extensions, as well as having all Special Consideration applications and Extensions go through one, centrally managed and LMS-integrated web portal. This means that students will know how to get support regardless of which subject they're taking or whether their subject coordinator is feeling nice that day.

There will be a lot more important changes coming through, so keep an eye out for further communication on this topic!

The 24 hour study space trial is launching NEXT WEEK

From the 1st to the 9th of June, all 5 floors of the ERC library and the open areas of building 168 will be accessible to all University of Melbourne students with their student ID cards.

This includes:
- Open study areas
- Booths and project rooms
- The Grad study space on level 3 (only for post-grad students)
- Student printers
- Vending machines, including with snacks, drinks and the new Flying Turtle vending machine for coffees
- Microwaves and hot water taps in the UMSU Building via the bridge
- The extended hours will not extend to the swipe access areas of Building 168, including level 2 and the Autonomous Spaces on level, which will remain locked overnight as per their usual operating hours.

This trial is brought to you in collaboration between SASS and UMSU Education.
To make sure it is successful, make sure to respect the space, keep it safe, tidy, and welcoming for everyone.
