4. Assessment

4.2. Submission of written work and late submission policy

All written work is submitted on QMplus. This includes reports, group projects, homework exercises and final assignments.    

This video shows how to submit an assignment through QMplus. 

For group work, one member of the group should submit the work, and all members of the group will be able to view it. 

Deadline extensions

You must submit your coursework by the specified deadline.

If you are unable to meet the submission deadline due to circumstances that are unforeseen and beyond your control, then you can submit an extenuating circumstances claim to request an extension.

Extensions can be granted for a maximum of one week.

Late submission of written work  

You should leave plenty of time to upload your work, in case of any problems with internet connection or other technical issues. 

Assessments submitted after the deadline will be marked as late and will receive a penalty, unless you have an accepted extenuating circumstances claim. 

You can submit your work up to seven calendar days after the deadline, but a penalty of 5 marks will be applied to the assessment for each 24-hour period (or part of it) that the work is late. After seven calendar days the assessment will be recorded as a non-submission and given a mark of zero. 

In some cases, assessments may no longer be accepted once feedback has been given to the class. If feedback is released before the seven-day limit, any submissions made after the feedback point will also receive a mark of zero. You will be informed in advance if this applies

If a late submission is due to approved extenuating circumstances, the late submission penalty may be removed. For this to be considered, you must submit an extenuating circumstances claim . 

Submission of an incorrect version of an assessment

If you submit an “incorrect” version of an assessment (for example a blank, draft, incomplete, or corrupted file), you may not resubmit it after the submission deadline has passed. Under the fit to sit policy, the submission counts as an official attempt and will be marked in the normal way.
