Late Submission Penalties

Coursework submitted late (and there are no extenuating circumstances), will be penalised at the rate of 5 marks for each 24 hour period, or part thereof, after the set submission date. An assignment handed in 7 days (168 hours) or more late will not be marked and awarded a mark of zero (0FL) to indicate it was received too late.  The provisional grade you see on QMPlus is before any late penalty is applied; adjusted marks after the application of late penalties can be seen on MySIS.

Where a student fails a module as a consequence of late penalties in an assessment, the original mark prior to the deduction of penalties for late submission will be automatically used for the resit attempt.  Please refer to further information on resits.
