Guidance on how to submit a coursework extension request and the penalties for late submission.

Extensions explained Late PenaltiesThe University has a standardised penalty for late submission of coursework.The School will apply a uniform penalty of a reduction of 5% of the maximum obtainable mark per calendar day. Note that this includes weekends. For example, a mark of 65% on the common marking scale would be reduced to 60% up to 24 hours later.We will accept late work for up to 7 calendar days after the deadline, after which work will not be marked and you will receive a mark of zero.If you need any advice about extensions or late penalties please contact the BTO Student Support Team.
