All Essays and Reports must be submitted by the submission dates or they will be recorded as a fail. If you are unable to complete by
the submission date you must tender an Extenuating Circumstances form. Logbooks, Case Studies and Practical Exercises should
also be submitted by the submission dates; however, because these are dependent on relevant real work examples then we can
extend the submission dates without the need for completion of Extenuating Circumstances forms.
There is a final submission date of 5th June 2016 beyond which no extensions will be given and no submissions accepted which
applies to all coursework.
