Assessment Brief
Late submission of work
Where coursework is submitted without approval, after the published hand-in deadline, the following penalties will
apply.
For coursework submitted up to 1 working day (24 hours) after the published hand-in deadline without approval,
10% of the total marks available for the assessment shall be deducted from the assessment mark.
For clarity: a late piece of work that would have scored 65%, 55% or 45% had it been handed in on time will be
awarded 55%, 45% or 35% respectively as 10% of the total available marks will have been deducted.
The Penalty does not apply to Pass/Fail Modules, i.e. there will be no penalty for late submission if assessments
on Pass/Fail are submitted up to 1 working day (24 hours) after the published hand-in deadline.
Coursework submitted more than 1 working day (24 hours) after the published hand-in deadline without approval
will be regarded as not having been completed. A mark of zero will be awarded for the assessment and the
module will be failed, irrespective of the overall module mark.
