Dissertations submitted after 4.00 pm on Thursday 14th February will be classed as a late submission. Failure to submit your work by the designated submission date could result in a maximum mark of 40%. Please note that late work may seriously jeopardise your degree result, as you must pass in this area to gain your degree. Your supervisor cannot give you an extension, so please do not ask them. Any mitigating circumstances that could indicate a claim for an extension are considered at a mitigating circumstances board. Make sure your claim is made early enough to be taken to this board. (This board will usually need hard evidence such as a doctor’s note) Mitigating circumstances forms are obtainable from student services. Student services can also advise you on how to deal with mitigating circumstances procedures. If your dissertation is submitted late without such an agreement, a 5% per day penalty will be applied. Early Submission In exceptional circumstances students can choose to submit before the deadline without penalty but this must be agreed with their supervisor / Head of Contextual Studies and a suitable submission time arranged with Yasmine Coggins if they chose to do this.
