If they air one episode per week for 13 weeks, the season finale will air on May 2. I think it's safe to say they won't get more than the original 13 episodes.
That at least gives them the ability to plan the 13th episode as the graduation/season/series finale.
In sort-of-related NBC comedy news, yesterday news came out that they are going to re-tool Up All Night and switch from being a one-camera show to become a traditional 3-camera sitcom, shot in front of a live audience. That can probably be looked at as another nail in the Community coffin. With 30 Rock and The Office going off the air after this season and Parks & Rec in a similar ratings struggle, NBC is moving back towards a more traditional sitcom line-up (although, their biggest new comedy this season is Go On, which is a one-camera show). NBC also canned the plans for their Dwight-centric Office spin-off, but it sounded horrible anyway.
