Late Submission and Extension of Work - School of Philosophical and Historical Inquiry

Essays and assignments not submitted on or before the due date are subject to penalty. Late work is penalised at the rate of 2% of the full marks of the assignment per weekday late and 2% of the full marks of the assignment per weekend late. The maximum penalty for any assessment will be 100%.

Only coordinators, either of individual units or of the junior and/or senior curricula have the authority to grant extensions. Extensions will not be granted for pressures of outside work or competing academic commitments. Requests for extension must normally be submitted in writing to the unit coordinator on or before the due date. Where circumstances of illness or misadventure prevent submission of a request for extension before the due date, students may apply for special consideration through the Faculty of Arts office.

Late essays or assignments will not be accepted (except where applications for special consideration are lodged) beyond the designated return date for the relevant written work. In cases where documented misadventure or serious illness prevents students from submitting work before the designated return date an alternative assessment task may be set.
