Late Work Policy

All written work, whether submitted on time or not, will be graded and returned to students with appropriate pedagogical feedback, and an indication of the grade which represents its intrinsic academic worth.

Work that is submitted after the due date, as set by the lecturer or by a proper extension, will be penalised academically. However, the Academic Dean may exercise discretion for medical or serious pastoral reasons.

• Work submitted up to one week after the due date will be awarded a grade one level below its intrinsic worth, as follows:

• High Distinction reduced to Distinction (with a mark of 84)
• Distinction reduced to a Credit (with a mark of 74)
• Credit reduced to Pass (with a mark of 64)
• Pass recorded as a Pass (with a mark of 50)

• Work submitted between one and four weeks after the due date will be awarded a Pass grade only (with a mark of 50), unless it fails to reach a pass standard

• Work submitted more than four weeks after the due date will be awarded a Fail grade
