EXTENSIONS

Extensions are intended for students who had an illness or extenuating circumstance during the term that caused them to deviate from the pacing guide.  Students need to show weekly equivalent work for all weeks that are outside of the extenuating circumstances.  Verbal agreements with instructors will NOT be honored.  Official requests must be submitted using the Extension Request Form.  Requests, including a signed plan of work completion, must be submitted by the stated deadline (two weeks prior to the end of the term) to the A2 Virtual+ principal for consideration. 

A student may only request a maximum of two (2) course extensions in any term.  Extensions are for one or two weeks.

Extensions are only considered for students that have:

• earned most of the total number of mastered topics (ALEKS requires a different formula, inquire with the course instructor)
• earned 45-59% of total points in the course
• worked consistently in the course (minimum of 5 hours per week). 

If an extenuating circumstance arises:

• The parent/guardian and/or the student must contact the A2 Virtual+ instructor as listed in PowerSchool.  
• The instructor should be notified of the circumstances, how long the student will be away from coursework, and the expected date of return.  
• If the absence is due to a medical situation, the instructor and principal of A2 Virtual+ should be contacted as soon as possible and provided a doctor's note.  

Extensions are not granted to students in grades 5-8 who have taken more than one math class in a semester.  Students and parents sign a contract in agreement that all courses would be completed by the end of the second term.

Extension requests for Michigan Virtual classes are at the discretion of the Michigan Virtual Instructor and need to be made through the A2 Virtual+ mentor.
