For learners who fail to submit their pending admission documents within the 60-day deadline, exceptions can be applied in certain circumstances if the learner submits the appropriate verification and/or supporting documentation. If approved by the Manager of Admissions and Registrar, this will allow the learner a 30-day extension to submit their pending admission documents. 

If the university does not receive the learner’s pending admission documents within the extended 30 days, they are placed on a two month suspension to allow learners time to submit their documents.

Learners are administratively dismissed from their program if admission documents are still outstanding after being suspended. Learners who wish to appeal the university’s admission decision (on the basis of new information), may submit a written appeal to Nexford’s University Review Committee (urc@nexford.edu). The committee’s decision in such cases is final.

Standard Deadline for Final Admission Documents

All admitted learners are required to ensure their final, official admission documents (such as official transcripts from previous institutions) are received by Nexford University within 90 days of their program start date. Submitting these documents is necessary to be fully admitted into your program.

Requesting an Extension

We understand that exceptional circumstances can sometimes cause delays in obtaining official documents. While extensions are not guaranteed, you may request one if you face significant challenges meeting the 90-day deadline.

• How to Request: Please email registrar@nexford.edu as soon as you anticipate a delay.
• Requirements: You will need to provide appropriate verification and/or supporting documentation explaining the reason for the delay.
• Approval: Extension requests are reviewed, and approval (typically for up to 30 additional days) is granted based on the circumstances, subject to approval by the Manager of Admissions and Registrar.

Consequences of Missing Deadlines

It's crucial to meet the document submission deadline to avoid interruptions to your studies.

1. Academic Suspension: If your required final admission documents are not received by Nexford within the initial 90-day deadline (or by the end of an approved extension period), you will be placed on a two-month academic suspension. This suspension period provides additional time to submit the necessary documents.
   
   
2. Administrative Dismissal: If the outstanding admission documents are still not received by the end of the two-month suspension period, you will be administratively dismissed from your program at Nexford University.

Appealing an Administrative Dismissal

If you are administratively dismissed due to outstanding documents, you have the option to appeal the decision only if you have new information or documentation relevant to your case.

How to Appeal: Submit a written appeal detailing the new information to Nexford’s University Review Committee (URC): urc@nexford.edu.

Note that the University Review Committee's decisions in such cases are final.
