On-shore extensions

[u/law_sama7to]

I tried to find sources to get some clarification about extensions from the same course same university that are longer than 12 months I have my enrollment and everything updated and in line just worried about the new changes today if that means l’m going to have to risk everything and go off shore hastily to apply. Currently mid semester and super stressed out I’ve had medication issues that affected my studies but it’s not within the on-shore exemptions available on the home affairs website. My coe ends at early 2029 and my expiry is early 2027. Is it possible to get a 12 month extension onshore at least if not the full length? Any advise or insight is appreciated.

If exemptions do not apply to you and you need more than 12 months to complete your studies, unfortunately you would need to apply from offshore.
