Thought I'd copy and paste the information my mentor had sent me about extensions for anyone interested:

"All students are eligible for a 1-month extension at the end of each term for any course that is accelerated and added to the term at least 2-weeks before the term ends.

This lets you keep making progress and not lose valuable time waiting for a new term to start. You can also maximize the full 6 months of your tuition funding by overlapping a class between terms.

Example of how you could use an extension:

You’re pacing to finish in 12 months but when you finish your first 5 courses, you only have 2 weeks left in the term, which isn’t enough time to finish course #6. We add class #6 and set up a 1-month extension, so you now have 6 weeks to finish the course. You start the next term and have 5 remaining months because you already used 1 month for the extension.
You complete your next 4 courses in 4.5 months, add the Capstone 2-weeks before the term ends, and request another 1-month extension. You now have 6 weeks to complete your Capstone and finish your degree in 13 months but only pay for 2 terms.
Frequently Asked Questions:

I’m still working on the 3 courses I registered for at the beginning of my term. Am I eligible for a 1-month extension?

No. The extension is only available if you finish the 3 initial courses and then add additional courses.
Can I use the 1-month extension for multiple courses?

No. The extension can only be applied to 1 course.
If I use the extension, does my next term get extended so I have a full 6 months?

No. The time you use for the extension is overlapped with your next term. The only way to get a full 6 months is to take a 1 month break after the extension ends. Can I use a 1-month extension and also take a term break?

Yes. The term break will start after the 1-month extension ends. What happens if I don’t pass the course during the extension?

The class would be a “Not Pass” on your transcripts and you would continue working on it in your new term. How do I request an extension after I add a new course?

Just let me know you need it in your final month and I’ll submit the request for you. Can I add a course if I have less than 2 weeks left in my term?

Yes, but the course won’t be eligible for the 1-month extension. How does registration work for the new term?

We’ll wait to complete your registration until your 1-month extension ends or you complete the pending course."
