Program Extension Policy
Candidates may extend access to a program through one of the following options: two 3-month extensions, or one 6-month extension. Regardless of the option selected, total extended access may not exceed 6 months beyond the original program period.
An individual seeking access beyond this 6-month maximum must submit a formal request with hardship documentation to acmasupport@acmainfo.org. Any extension beyond the 6-month maximum is granted solely at the ACMA's discretion and requires ACMA approval.
