53      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 an inquiry—the presiding officer; or

(b)    in relation to any other time limit under this instrument—the Registrar.

(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 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.
