Same as date of agreement.

Your contract date is the last day that you have to complete your individualized-study course. Contract dates are always the last day of a month (or the date that you finish the course, if earlier). All of your course work, including assignments, quizzes, and exams, must be completed before the contract date. When you register in a three-credit course, you are given six months (approximately 26 weeks) in which to complete the course. When you register in a six-credit course, you are given 12 months (52 weeks) in which to complete the course. Time extensions are available in individualized-study courses only. If you are a Canadian student receiving student loans (either federal or provincial), you must complete your three-credit courses in four months and your six-credit courses in eight months.
