 STUDENT SUBMISSIONS

• For MOL and AOL, all student submissions are online submissions. For TAL, the default
submission mode is online but other submission arrangements can be arrived at
through agreements made between faculty and student. The CCM should contain the
faculty's contact details and instructions for and schedule of submission.  The student
will be responsible for contacting the faculty. Students who cannot submit online may
opt to submit via courier to either the faculty’s residence, the courier service pick-up
point nearest the faculty’s home (like LBC), or at the faculty’s department office at FEU.
This will be at the student’s expense and upon agreement with the faculty.
