The
Extended Time Program allows a limited number of students whose life
circumstances prevent them from engaging in a full time study program
to reduce their courses to approximately half the normal required
course load. The decision to admit students to the first year of the
Extended Time Program is made only after they have been found admissible
to Osgoode on a full-time basis through one of the previously described
admission categories. Upon acceptance of their place in the LL.B.
program, students seeking admission to this program should submit
a statement to the Admissions Committee, as soon as possible, explaining
why they are unable to carry a full course load. Students in upper
years may apply to enter the Extended Time Program at any time in
their law studies. The Admissions Committee believes such rationales
would include, but not be limited to: pregnancy and childbirth; family
obligations such as child care, care of elderly, ill or disabled family
members; temporary or long term student illness or disability; extreme
financial hardship. Decisions will normally be made in July.
