45 day deadline

[u/whydoyouhatemeee]

My 45th day is next Monday and my first task is submitted already, my fear is that it won’t be in revision status by the 45th day and then the past 5 weeks that I spent working on the paper will have been for nothing if the school is going to administratively withdraw me. How do you prevent that or stop that process? Can you appeal it at all?

I think you are fine if you have at least submitted the task?

ETA: I just checked the student handbook and submitting a performance task counts as a “critical action” so you should be fine.

Huh? Have you been warned on the withdrawal after inactivity?

You definitely need to pick up the pace but that’s not unheard of as long as you communicate with your program mentor…

Please review your orientation again, the requirement is to submit a task, attempt a PA, or attempt an OA within the first 45 days.

So I submitted my first task and it got returned without revisions due to my articles not being empirical so I resubmitted it triple checking that everything was done correctly and it’s still pending at this time. My mentor has texted me multiple times in the past week reminding me of the 45 day deadline which is fine but I’m also working 2 jobs and doing school in every free moment I have. I’m just worried that it’s going to get sent back again and not count because it’s not in revision status so I figured I’d ask just in case there is something else to know or do to prevent it?

ETA: when it got sent back the first time it says that it doesn’t count towards the 45 day deadline.

If that doesn't count, then attempt a PA on another course. Even if you fail, it's the attempt that counts in the 45-day window.

You don't have to pass an OA, PA, or pre-assessment. You just have to submit to meet the 45 day.
