Late submission of coursework and mitigation
Late work must be handed into Info at Peter Chalk using the BART system. It will be accepted and receipted as normal, but marked as late with the actual hand-in time and date. The default late penalty will apply (see below) unless a mitigation form is submitted with the late work and the relevant college mitigation committee subsequently accepts the case for mitigation. Late work will attract penalties that will be applied automatically by staff marking assignments unless mitigation (see below) applies. The penalty for late submission is that for any assignment handed in up to 2 weeks late the marks awarded are capped to 40% (50% for postgraduates). That is, if your actual (non-late) mark for the work is (for example) 36%, this will stay at 36%. If your actual (non-late) mark would be 41% (51% for postgraduates), or higher, right up to 100%, the mark awarded will be 40% (50% for postgraduates). Any assignment handed in more than 2 weeks after the deadline will receive no marks.
How do I apply for an extension to the deadline?
1. Students requiring an extension must submit an application form using the mitigation procedure BEFORE the deadline.
2. A member/s of the mitigation committee will be contacted by email/telephone for a decision. Normally a decision will be obtained within 24 hours.
3. If application is made after the deadline, extensions will only be granted if the nature of the problem precluded earlier application (e.g. transport problems).
NB: None of the staff in the Student Office is permitted to grant extensions.
Forms for applications for extensions are on the mitigation procedure page.
Rules:
1. Extensions to the published deadlines may ONLY be given by members of the mitigation committee – NOT by module co-ordinators. Work handed directly to a member of staff will be deemed late.
2. For extensions of up to 1 week, the committee quorum will be 1 member of the committee.
3. For longer extensions the quorum will be 2 members of the committee, one of which must be the Director of Natural Sciences.
4. No member of the mitigation committee must be the tutor of the student, or the marker of the piece of work being submitted.
