Submission

Coursework and assessments are anonymously marked for fairness, and therefore you should NOT put your name on any coursework. Always use your student number.

You must ensure that the work you submit is entirely your own, is free from plagiarism and due acknowledgement is given to all sources you have used. For help and further information see the Academic Integrity and Academic Writing Support page. Once marked, you will receive your grade and feedback on your coursework via Canvas.

The Canvas and Learning Technologies (Students) space includes a section on Assessments and Grades which may be useful, as will the Student Learning Services Assignments and Feedback page about assignments and making the most of feedback.

Extensions for Coursework

It is an important employability and life skill to be able to work to deadlines, so we do expect you to submit your work on time. However, extensions for coursework can be granted in exceptional circumstances. Select the following link for further information about Extenuating Circumstances.

Extensions are not automatic and application must be made, even where an Agreed Record of University Access Adjustments (ARUAA) is in place. Please see guidance for students with an ARUAA . It is your responsibility to provide certificated evidence of illness as appropriate. If you would prefer to speak to your module coordinator in private, please make an appointment with them.

The University's Academic Quality and Standards Handbook (Items 80-88) details acceptable grounds for requesting extensions to coursework submission deadlines.

Extensions can be requested via the Extension Request Link in this module.

Late Submission

Coursework can be submitted up to 7 calendar days after the submission date (or expiry of any agreed extension) but the mark for the coursework will be lowered by 3 marks on the common marking scheme for every day or part day it is late. Further details are published in the University's Assessment Policy and Procedure guide (Items 100-104).

Uploading Assignments and Similarity Checking

The university has created guidance on how to submit an assignment in Canvas.

You may submit drafts of your assignments to the assignment space in your Canvas module. The version you submit last of all, closest to the assignment's Due Date, will be the one that is marked. all submissions will be sent via the Turnitin service. This reviews the submission and provides you with a Similarity Report to indicate possible plagiarism issues. Further information about this service and how to interpret a Similarity Report can be found on our page Using Turnitin to Check your Work.
