Please note:
• Late submission of coursework will typically attract a lateness penalty. For each day or
part thereof for up to five days after the published deadline, coursework submitted late
(including deferred coursework, but with the exception of referred coursework), will have the
numeric grade reduced by 10 grade points until or unless the numeric grade reaches or is a
bare pass (i.e. 40 for undergraduate modules, 50 for postgraduate modules). Where the
numeric grade awarded for the assessment is less than the bare pass, no lateness penalty will
be applied.
• Late submission of online timed assessments typically will not be accepted.
• Coursework (including deferred coursework) submitted later than five days (five working days
in the case of hard copy submission) after the published deadline will be awarded a grade of
zero (0).
• Late submission of referred coursework will automatically be awarded a mark of zero.
• You are strongly advised to submit your work one hour before the submission deadline, to give
time to resolve difficulties. The application of lateness penalty is automated and therefore any
submission after the deadline will attract a lateness penalty.
Scores and feedback that you see have been through a thorough process. When we design an
assignment, it is reviewed by colleagues. For modules at level 5 (second year undergraduate) and
above assignments are also reviewed by an external examiner. We also take great care with your
assessments once you submit them; an overview of how our internal moderation process works can
be found in this video (~3 minutes): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2fa6G4WYQw
