Penalties for late submission and word/space limits

The University policy on Coursework penalties requires the School to publish the penalty scheme(s) that it uses.

For pieces of assessment that are required to be submitted for marking, a clear deadline will be published in advance. Where work is submitted after the defined deadline and no extension has been granted, the following lateness penalties will applied:

Default Penalty Scheme

If no specific penalty is noted, the School will apply Scheme A listed in the University policy on Coursework penalties.

Word/page limits

Where word or page limits apply to a piece of work, penalties for not satisfying the assessment criteria will be published in advance. If no specific penalty is given, the School will default to Scheme A in the University policy.

Project reports

It is particularly important that project reports are handed in on time, in view of the large number of credits attached to these modules.
