If you were represented by an attorney, you should be contacting him/her for their advice. Depending on the jurisdiction and the judge (some judges are tougher than others), a judge "should" grant you an extension provided you can show that you are trying to complete everything on time and not fluffing it off and not taking it seriously.

You should show up at the court clerks? office about a week before your court date and request a continuance. The clerk can give you a 60 day continuance if you have not had one before this time.

Your lawyer can ask the judge for an extension of time to permit you to complete the classes. However, you will have to have a "good excuse" for not finishing the program in a timely manner. Valid excuses include you are working long hours and are supporting your family or you have had a medical illness or something similar.

Usually they will give you an extension the sooner you ask the better chance.

I should hope so. You should go to court with proof of attendance and proof that you have done everything else. Be polite and the judge will probably give you the extension.

You should have a lawyer go to court prior to the deadline to talk to the Judge. That is your best chance.
