Policy on Late Submission and Length of AssignmentsAll pieces of continuous assessment must be submitted by the due date in the way requested by the lecturer (i.e. paper, electronically or both). Students must save and retain a copy of all submitted continuous assessment work. Strict penalties are applied for lateness and will be applied unless prior approval has been sought for an extension. Continuous assessment submitted up to one week late will lose 10% of marks awarded. Work submitted up to two weeks late will lose 20% of marks awarded. After two weeks, the maximum mark available will be 40%. No work will be accepted after four weeks. This means that the student risks failing the module and may be required to undertake a repeat assignment in the autumn. Extensions are only granted in exceptional circumstances and must be requested in advance. Valid excuses include bereavement, serious illness, an accident or other serious personal issues. Where possible these should be supported by documentary evidence. If you are experiencing problems you should inform your lecturer and/or tutor as soon as possible. Students must not submit the same material in more than one assignment. Dr. Kevin Lalor, Head of the School of Social Sciences & Law (acting) 18 September 2009.
All final year dissertations shall be cross-marked. Your lecturers will provide written feedback on your work, based on the assessment criteria, in a timely manner (not more than 4 working weeks after the submission deadline).
