while I haven't tried to get a normative time extension on the new grounds (parenthood), I have succeeded in a different appeal. What I recommend is calling Grad Division Degrees (642-7330) first. You can ask for instructions and at the same time talk with the staff person who handles your case -- a good person to know. She will tellyou to write a letter to Associate Dean Mary Ann Mason, PalatinoDegrees Unit, Graduate DivisionTimes Palatino302 Sproul Hall, making your case for an extension. good luck!
