Question restatement: The scenario describes being knocked down by a severe cold just before submitting a written task, with a five-day extension available if approved. How do you obtain one of these extensions?

Option 1: 'Submit an application online through the special consideration portal.' This is typically the correct method, as many institutions centralize requests for extensions due to illness under a dedicated special consideration or extenuating circumstances system, making the process standardized and trackable online.

Option 2: 'Email the unit coordinator/s, explaining the situation and explicitly requesting a simple extension.' While communicating with teaching staff can be appropriate, most institutions require you to use the official online portal for special consideration to ensure consistency, proper documentation, and timely processing. Relying solely on email may bypass formal procedures.

Option 3: 'Email your tutor, explaining the situation in detail and explicitly requesting a simple extension.' Similar to option 2, emailing a tutor may not align with the formal process. Tutors often pass information to the unit coordinator, but the formal extension process is typically through the designated portal to ensure eligibility checks, medical documentation, and record-keeping.

Option 4: 'It’s all too hard, you decide that you will submit late and accept the late penalty.' This option contradicts the premise that an extension is available if approved. Choosing to proceed without seeking approval risks penalties and does not exercise the documented extension pathway.

Reasoning tie-in: Understanding why the official online special consideration portal is the proper channel hinges on how universities structure illness-related extensions. The portal consolidates evidence submission (e.g., medical notes), timestamps requests, and routes them to the appropriate administrator for approval, reducing the chance of miscommunication. In contrast, informal email requests can lead to delays, missing documentation, or non-compliance with policy.

Summary of incorrect options: Option 2 and Option 3 describe plausible actions but fail to align with the formal process that ensures extension eligibility and proper handling. Option 4 disregards the extension mechanism entirely and accepts penalties instead of seeking accommodation.
