For Administrators and Management
EzExtend is a built-in tool for managing assignment extension requests within your Learning Management System (LMS). It simplifies the process for students while reducing administrative workload for faculty and staff.
EzExtend processes an average extension request in less than two minutes, saving over 10 minutes compared to traditional methods. It automates repetitive tasks like updating due dates, notifying students, and tracking requests, significantly reducing admin time. For short-term extensions, you can fully automate the process while setting caps per student, eliminating manual work for these requests altogether!
Students can submit extension requests directly from the assignments page in the LMS. The user-friendly design makes it easy to request extensions and stay updated on approval status. Plus, the streamlined process helps boost pass rates and lower non-submission rates.
EzExtend automates key tasks in the extension process—sending notifications, updating due dates, and adding system notes—so faculty don’t have to handle these manually. This allows educators to focus more on teaching and less on admin work.

After handling over 200,000 requests, our data shows no evidence of misuse. Students are strategic about which assignments they request extensions for, focusing on what matters most to them. Higher usage often correlates with “at-risk” students, who already face academic challenges. Instead of misuse, we’ve found that offering an easy-to-use tool empowers students to make better decisions about when they truly need an extension. EzExtend also offers controls like setting limits on automatic approvals and requiring human approval for long-term extensions, ensuring fair use.
