Submission of Work and Special Arrangement - School of Philosophical and Historical Inquiry

Submission of Written Work

Essays and assignments must be submitted through the School office, located on Level 3, Lobby H, in the Main Quadrangle. Students may not hand essays or assignments directly to their lecturer or tutor. Online submission of essays and assignments through WebCT is available in some units of study.

A completed and signed cover sheet must be attached to the front of all written work submitted through the School office. Written work will not be marked if the plagiarism policy compliance statement on the cover sheet is unsigned. All incoming essays and assignments are date stamped. The School office maintains a register of submitted work, including any claims by students that written work submitted to the School office has been lost. Students submitting work through WebCT must read and accept the plagiarism policy compliance statement for their work to be submitted.

Students are advised to retain a copy of all written work submitted.
