I think most uses of "extra" as a prefix create single words, don't they? (Extraterrestrial, extraordinary; extramural...)

Yes. Take your pick, but the hyphen seems more common in BrE than in AmE.

Official US answer: extracurricular.
In the US, the publishers have waged war on hyphens after prefixes, and in copyedited text you will seldom see them except in desperate circumstances (e.g., un-ionized, re-port). The masses have been slow to follow, however, with the result that copyeditors spend a good deal of time deleting hyphens

That depends on whether you're using a timescale or a time-scale.
