4. Have a back-up plan in case your extension isntgranted. You may think your request is completely warranted；your professor or TA， however， may not. You may have tojust suck it up and finish your assignment as soon as possible，even if its not as good as you had hoped. Its better to finisha not-so-great assignment than it is to not turn something in.
If， however， you feel like your situation really warrants someunderstanding (because of a medical or family situation， forexample)， you can always talk to your dean of students foradditional support.
大学里怎样请求延缓上交作业？
作业上交期限很快就到了，也许感觉太快了。你还没完成作业，需要缓交，但是你不知道如何请求缓交，怎么办？以下四个步骤也许你最好尝试一下：
1. 单独请求缓交作业。你半夜两点钟突然意识到明早要交作业或你突然生病了没完成作业，这些情况都是可能的。单独向教授或导师助理申请缓交作业，是最明智的选择。这样你可以跟他们很好地说明情况，而不是只发过去一个邮件或一份语音邮件。
2. 如果没有机会与他们见面，尽快发送一个邮件或一份语音邮件。期限过后才申请缓交，是不可取的，应尽快与教授或导师助理联系。
3. 向教授或导师助理说明情况，包括这几个方面：
为什么需要缓交？
做了哪些部分了？
你希望缓交的期限是什么时候？
还要尊重教授或导师助理的时间安排等。
4.申请缓交不成功的后备计划。你也许认为申请肯定能成功，但是教授或导师助理不同意。怎么办？那你只能尽可能做完这份作业，尽管做得并不理想。上交了作业总比没交的好。如果你的情况(如医疗或家庭方面因素)本应该获得教授的理解的，你可以向班主任寻求帮助。

申请奖学金
学生：早上好，先生。您收到我的奖学金申请表了吗？
教授：收到了。今天早晨刚收到的。
学生：太好了！看起来怎么样？您认为我能申请到奖学金吗？
教授：从你的申请来看，我可以说你很有可能申请到我们学院的奖学金。但我要告诉你的是，我们的奖学金只负担学费和生活费。旅行和娱乐的费用得你自己承担。
学生：那对我来说应该不是问题了。我想我自己可以担负旅行费用和其他突发事件的费用。
教授：如果需要的话你还可以到银行去贷款。很多学生都是这么做的。
学生：如果情况变得很糟糕的话，我肯定会从银行贷款的，但目前还不需要。还是非常感谢您的建议。
教授：秋季学期见。
