Change effective from:
2017/18
Summary of change
Coursework submitted within one working day (i.e. 24 hours) after the deadline date and time without an authorised extension, will receive a mark capped at the minimum pass mark. Coursework submitted over 24 hours late without an authorised extension, will be considered a non-submission.
What’s different?
This means that rather than applying a 0% mark to work handed in late, the minimum pass mark will be applied instead. This impact of this is that more students are likely to pass even if handing in up to 24 hours late which will reduce the need for reassessment marking and consideration through a Resit Assessment Board.
The Assessment Journey Programme is investigating the most suitable method and developing guidance for markers on how to identify which students should receive a capped mark and which have submitted late due to an approved extension.
