Penalties will normally be applied to assignments received after the due date.

Please read Stirling's policy on extensions by going the policies page of the Stirling web site.

I am applying for a lecturer's extension (not more than two weeks beyond the due date)

I am applying for a special extension due to extenuating circumstances, such as serious illness or severe personal problems.
      If a special extension is granted, late submission may have a lesser, or no, penalty applied, providing the following procedure is followed:

1. The extension must be requested prior to the sixteenth week of the semester in which the unit is taught. After the sixteenth week (two weeks after last lecture) no extensions will be granted.
2. If the paper is to be handed in after the sixteenth week of the semester in which the unit is taught, the student must discuss the reason(s) with the lecturer.
3. At least before the sixteenth week, the student must apply in writing on this form to the Coursework Co-ordinator, with any relevant documents, for remission of penalties.
4. The Coursework Co-ordinator, in consultation with the lecturer, will register the request as either ‘accepted’ or ‘rejected’ and the cover page will then be attached to the assignment for appropriate action by the examiner.

The purpose of compliance with the policy is ensure parity in extensions for all students across the Melbourne College of Divinity.
