Extending an Interim or Conditional Certificate
We do not usually extend interim or conditional certificates beyond their expiry dates.
We will extend a certificate in the following two circumstances only:
- If your original evaluation letter stated that,
due to the amount of coursework you needed to complete,
you would qualify for a one-time extension
if you completed half of the courses by the expiry date.
- If you are within six months of the expiry date of your certificate,
and you have been unable to complete the courses because of circumstances that you cannot control
(for example, lengthy illness or maternity).
In both of these cases, you must send us a written request for a special extension to the expiry date of your certificate.
In the case of #1 above, send us your written request along with transcripts showing that
you have completed at least half of the required courses.
In the case of #2 above, send us your written request describing your circumstances and
include any applicable supporting documents (such as a letter from your doctor).
We may give you a special extension of up to 12 months to complete the courses.
