Extension tensions. A query about the COVID-current rules for course extensions takes a detour through the rhubarb before arriving at an answer: “You are allowed 1 additional extension due to Covid in addition to the 3 two month extensions available for a total of 4. This may change so keep checking the Covid page for updates. Currently you must apply for the extension by 11:59 pm MST of the last day of your contract.”
