71      Extension of time

(1)    In this section:

       relevant University official means:

(a)    in relation to a time limit applying to a student in relation to a review—the course convener conducting the review; or

(b)    in relation to a time limit applying to a student in relation to an inquiry—the inquiry officer conducting the inquiry; or

(c)    in relation to any other time limit under this instrument—the Registrar.
            [Note: For an inquiry conducted by a panel, a reference in paragraph (c) to the inquiry officer conducting the inquiry is a reference to the Chair of the panel conducting the inquiry (see section 38(5)(e) (Inquiry panel to conduct inquiry)).]

(2)    The relevant University official may extend a time limit under this instrument.
            [Note: The time limit may be extended even though the relevant time has ended (see Legislation Statute, section 22 (Power to extend time)).]

(3)    In deciding whether to extend a time limit, the relevant University official must take into account:

(a)    the reason why an extension is sought; and

(b)    the period of the extension; and

(c)    the prejudice (if any) that will be caused by granting the extension.

(4)    An extension must be for no longer than is reasonably necessary.
