To request an assignment extension, please use go.cs61a.org/extensions (linked from the contact page). If you email your TA asking for an extension, they will direct you to this form.

• Please be conscious about emailing your TAs late at night asking for help on assignments, as it puts pressure on them to respond quickly—we ask that you use Piazza for technical and content questions, and recommend starting on assignments early as it makes it far easier to access resources such as Piazza and OH when issues arise.
• From now on, extensions that are requested after the assignment deadline has already passed will not be granted (unless your circumstances prevented you from being able to access the form before the deadline).
• Keep in mind that we automatically drop your two lowest lab scores and one lowest homework score.
