If you’re experiencing short-term difficulties that occur close to a coursework submission deadline which might lead to your assessment submission being late, you may apply for an extension to a deadline. A successful extension to a deadline grants you extra time to complete your assignment without a negative impact on your marks.
Without an extension, a late submission of work (i.e. handing in the work up to two weeks after the submission deadline) carries an automatic penalty and the mark for the work will be capped at the module pass mark of 40% (undergraduate) or 50% (postgraduate), so you must?submit an application form?through your?School Administration Office.
An extension to the deadline can be for three days up to a maximum of two weeks. If you think you are going to need longer, you should probably consider using Additional Considerations. By not submitting your work, your grade will automatically show as “non-submission”, unless you have successful Additional Considerations.
If you have a Learning Support Plan, you may still need to apply, but it will be granted automatically. In either case, it is better to seek help early so that you can get the support you need.?
NB Extensions to deadlines are not normally given during the summer “referral period”.
