Departmental policies on late
submission are published in Graduate Handbooks.
Further information regarding the policy and the
forms can be found in the
Late Submission Policy guidelines.
Departments operate one of the
following policies for the late submission of
coursework on postgraduate and graduate
programmes:
All coursework submitted
after the deadline will receive
a mark of zero. The mark of
zero shall stand unless the
student submits satisfactory
evidence of extenuating
circumstances that indicate that
the student was unable to submit
the work prior to the deadline.
[optional - Departments
who operate this policy may
choose to include arrangements
to approve extensions in advance
of the deadline for submission.]
All coursework submitted
after the deadline is subject to
a marks penalty of two marks for
each 24 hour period (including
weekends and public holidays) up
to a maximum of seven days.
Thereafter, work will receive a
mark of zero. The marks
penalty/mark of zero shall stand
unless the student submits
satisfactory evidence of
extenuating circumstances that
indicate that the student was
unable to submit the work prior
to the deadline. [optional
- Departments who operate this
policy may choose to include
arrangements to approve
extensions in advance of the
deadline for submission.]
No late penalty. Students
can request an extension in
advance of the deadline for
submission.
Extenuating circumstances claims for late
submission for departments who operate a marks
penalty (options 1 and 2 above) are dealt with
as follows:
If you have experienced extenuating
circumstances immediately around the time of the
deadline, which prevent you from submitting your
work by the deadline, you should submit your
late work along with a Late Submission of
Coursework Form to your department within 7 days
(including weekends and/or bank holidays) of the
deadline date (provided model answers have not
been released). Your Late Submission of
Coursework Form will then be considered by the
department's Late Submissions Committee.
If you have experienced significant (longer
term) extenuating circumstances that prevent you
from submitting your work either by the deadline
or within seven days of the deadline, you should
submit an Extenuating Circumstances Form for the
Board of Examiners to consider at the end of the
year, which should clearly explain how your
extenuating circumstances affected your ability
to submit your work.
