Penalisation of Late Work and Extensions

Any essay, or other coursework, which is submitted after the relevant deadline, without being covered by adequate evidence of medical problems or of another serious emergency or by the prior permission of the tutor concerned, will be penalised as follows:

• 0.5 points will be deducted for every working day (including Saturday, Sunday and any holiday) after the relevant deadline. Students submitting work late are strongly advised to have the date of submission documented by one of the secretaries before asking for the work to be placed in the tutor's pigeon hole. No deductions will be made for Saturdays, Sundays or May Day.
• Work submitted more than two weeks after the relevant deadline but before the School's final deadline will receive an automatic fail mark of 1.
• Extensions can only be granted by the relevant Course Co-ordinator.
