Coursework Assignment Day Month Year
5 December 2014
Late Work
All work submitted after the submission deadline without an approved reason will be given a mark of zero. This is not the same as a non-submission, as a late submission counts as an attempt and a mark of zero may allow you to resit the coursework (see section 2.6 on referrals).
You should note that short deferrals (extensions) of up to three calendar weeks can only be given for genuine force majeure and medical reasons, not for bad planning of your time. Please note that theft, loss, or failure to keep a back-up file, are not valid reasons. The short deferral must be applied for on or before the submission date. You can apply for a short deferral by submitting an Examination/ Coursework Deferral Application Form. Application Forms along with the supporting evidence should go to the relevant Student Support Office (WM404 or GE103), for undergraduates, or Postgraduate Reception (WMG29). For a longer delay in submission a student may apply for a (long) deferral. See your programme manager for details.
