How do I request a no-cost extension?

Answer

• Step 1: Review the award terms to determine if a no-cost extension is allowed and the required time frame to make the request.
• Step 2: If a no-cost extension is allowed or not specifically addressed in the award terms, complete the "Sponsor Approved No-Cost Extension Request Template" on department letter-head. If sponsor approval is not required, complete the "University Approved No Cost Extension Request Template" on department letterhead.
• Step 3: Email the completed letter to the SPA Award Management Coordinator responsible for managing the award. Find the assigned award coordinator here.
• Step 4: The SPA Award Management Coordinator will determine what action is needed depending on the sponsor, i.e. request submitted via sponsor e-system, email request to sponsor for approval or SPA Negotiator draft amendment for no-cost extension.
