# If I want to extend, when do I have to have all of my education hours completed?

To apply for a program extension, you must submit proof that you completed at least 6 credits (60 hours) of education no later than 45 days before your program ends. We encourage you to  finish your coursework before this deadline if possible. Your extension application cannot be submitted without proof you have completed your education.
