05.3.19 Due Dates for Assignments

The due dates for all assignments for a unit are advised in the unit timetable, provided to students at the start of a unit. Please note:

  1. The latest date on which any assessment item (internal or external) may be submitted is the day before the commencement of examinations for the end of the semester concerned.

  2. Students should observe due dates for all assessments.

  3. Downgrades apply for late submission of assessments for each day or part thereof of lateness – with a maximum of two weeks. Downgrades are 5% for the first day and 3% for second and subsequent days. After that the Learning and Teaching Committee reserves the right not to mark the item.

  4. In extenuating circumstances, such as illness confirmed by a medical certificate or serious compassionate circumstances beyond a student’s control, late submission of the assessment item may be granted. A student seeking late submission must apply in writing to the Registrar, at least two working days before the due date for the assignment.  Parish or denominational duties do not constitute adequate grounds for adjustment.
