Introduction to Request an Application Deadline Extension
A one-time 30-day Application Deadline Extension (adjusted for weekends and holidays) may be requested if necessary. When the Application Deadline Extension is granted, the new Application Deadline is displayed on the Application Overview page. For more information about the Application Deadline, including what is required to be submitted by the Application Deadline, refer to Important Application Deadline Information.
User Roles
The Account Manager, Authorized Representative, or a Designee with the Request Extension privilege can request a one-time 30-day Application Deadline Extension (adjusted for weekends and holidays).
Timing & Dependencies
The one-time 30-day Application Deadline Extension may be requested before the Application Deadline using the RDS Secure Website. The RDS Secure Website action to Request an Application Deadline Extension is only available before the Application Deadline has passed. Once the Application Deadline Extension has been granted, it cannot be undone. If the Extension was requested and granted by mistake, there is no adverse effect to the application.
For more information about the Application Deadline, including what is required to be submitted by the Application Deadline, refer to Important Application Deadline Information.
Notification of Approved Application Deadline Extension
After an Application Deadline Extension is granted in the RDS Secure Website, the Account Manager, Authorized Representative, and Designee(s) with the Request Extension privilege will receive a confirmation email indicating an Application Deadline Extension has been granted. This confirmation email will also include a link to contact information in the event that assistance is required, as well as a link to the RDS Program Website where the user can log into the RDS Secure Website.
