policy regarding late work

A student who submits a piece of work after the due date without an extension having been granted previously will normally be penalised academically.

All work, whether late or not, is to be graded and returned to students with appropriate pedagogical feedback, and an indication of the grade which represents its intrinsic academic worth. As regards the grade recorded for assessment purposes, the following general policy applies:

• Work submitted up to two weeks late without an extension having been granted previously will normally have its recorded grade reduced by one level (e.g. Distinction to Credit), though such work passed by one examiner must have a Pass grade recorded;
• Work submitted later than two weeks but before 28 days after the sixteenth week week of the semester in which the subject is taught without an extension having been granted previously will normally only have a Pass grade recorded (unless it fails to reach a Pass standard);
• Work submitted later than 28 days after the sixteenth week week of the semester in which the subject is taught without an extension having been granted previously is normally to have a 'Fail' grade recorded.

A student may raise an academic grievance against the reduction of a grade for late work.
