I believe heema is not in high school (which the $75.00 extension would apply to) but in career school because PF offers the medical administrative assistant program in career school which it seems what they are taking. So for career school, the six month extension fee is $95.00

If your program recently expired, you can also pay the extension fee online on your student portal page where you "make a payment" if you have access to the internet.

If your program expired a while ago, I would definitely have you call in and speak with student services.

Hopes this helps, good luck in finishing your program!

P.S. I'm doing a similar program to yours, the medical assistant

I would like to know if there is a place that we can order the Cat Atlas for Animal Anatomy & Physiology 2? If I upload it to Staples and have it printed, it is around $80, and that is not all of the materials.

If this was a discussion, an instructor probably reviewed it and found it did not meet the requirements. When I did the discussion boards I am pretty sure I got a P right away.

Hello gregorytarton

PF does offer this course! Here is a link to the program to find out more about it:

Online Construction Technology Degree Program | Penn Foster College

Also, here is a link to the Construction Technology Student Community page, maybe you could talk to other students who are in the program and get their feedback and advice about the program:

Construction Technology Associate Degree

The Construction Technology Associate's Degree program takes a little longer than Career Diploma or Career Certificate programs because it is a degree program, so if you were interested in something that may be a little less intimidating in regards to the time and commitment to the program, you could also check out some of PFs other great Career Diploma or Certificate Programs. Here are some helpful links:

Career Diploma Programs

Carpentry Courses - Online Training | Penn Foster Career School

AutoCAD Training - Online Courses | Penn Foster Career School

Career Certificate Programs

Online AutoCAD Training w/CAD software | Penn Foster Career School

Online Green Construction Certificate | Penn Foster Career School

Congratulations on finishing your Home Remodeling & Repair program!

I hope this helps! Good Luck on future endeavors and much success!

Hello KendraBW18

If you log into your Student Portal, under the "Billing & Payments" tab, there should be an option to purchase an extension through there, if this is your first extension. The fee is $75-$95, depending on your program. If this would be your second extension, you will need to call Student Care at 1-888-427-1000 M-F 9am-6pm EST. I hope this helps! Good Luck on your Journey & Much Success!

≪ Previous: Re: Extention

Reminder you can get a maximum of two extensions through out you studies. For example if you use 2 extensions during first semester of an associates degree you will have none for the 2,3, or 4

≫ Next: Re: I was wondering has anyone in georgia had trouble finding an externship for the vet assistant program?

≪ Previous: Re: Extention

How are you contacting vet offices? Are you calling or are you going in person? If going in person are you going prepared? I mean are you going in dressed as if you are going for an interview and do you have information with you on not just the externship but also information on Penn Foster. Have you checked with the closest VCA Animal hospital whom Penn Foster has a partnership with.

If you have pets, Have you tried contacting the vet office where you take them? That is a good place to start. If they cannot help you as for recommendations.
