Ensure that you make a careful note of when the assessment tasks are due in for this course. Try not to leave
working on these tasks until the last minute – this is stressful for you and tends to lead to poor quality work.
Remember that you have several assessments (for different courses) due the same week and you will need to
plan for this.

Coursework
Submitted coursework, including your final year project, will not be returned to you. This is true for all
coursework, in all courses and at all levels, and does not apply to only this course. We must keep the original
copy of all coursework to provide the external examiners with a complete record of your work.
Late coursework
It is the University policy to accept and grade all late items of coursework (up to the published latest date for
submission). There is no such thing as 'an extension'. You cannot negotiate new deadlines, and you do not
need to get agreement about handing in your work late from the course leader or any other member of staff.
Late coursework submissions are, however, subject to penalties (capping) that determine the maximum grade
that you can achieve depending upon how late the work is. The current penalty scale can be found below:
The following caps to be uniformly applied, in the absence of relevant mitigating circumstances accepted by the
BoE:
Up to 1 working day late
Up to 2 working days late
Up to 5 working days late
Up to 10 working days late
Up to 15 working days late
More than 15 working days late
Mark capped at 90%
Mark capped at 80%;
Mark capped at 70%;
Mark capped at 60%;
Mark capped at 50%;
Mark capped at 0%.
A working day is here defined as Monday to Friday at any time of year, with the exception of Nigeria national
holidays. Students with mitigating circumstances can apply to have penalties removed via submission of the
appropriate form and evidence within 7 days of the submission deadline. How to do this can be found in the
University Assessment Policy and Procedure.
