Submitting Coursework and Assessments

Details of what you need to do to pass the course are provided on each course Learn site. You should study the requirements carefully.  

• Some courses require you to pass BOTH the exam and the in-course assessment elements, so that averaging a pass mark will not necessarily be sufficient.  
• In some courses there may be additional requirements, for example, regular attendance (particularly in laboratory classes). 

For most courses you will be asked to submit work via Learn or an alternative electronic system. Often this involves the tool Turnitin.

Information for submitting each assignment will be provided in the course book or sent to you by the course administrator at the appropriate time. 

How to Find Assessments on Learn

To gain access to assessments for courses in Years 1-3 you will need to complete a short task on Learn - read three statements and indicate your acceptance: 

• A declaration that your coursework is your own work
• information on the University’s use of plagiarism detection software
• an explanation of the School’s retention schedule

After this, assessment folders will become accessible to you on the course Learn site.

• If you are submitting a hard copy (most courses are electronic only), you must place a barcode label on the front page, top right-hand corner.  
• You must place your work into one of the boxes in the BTO reception or Ashworth Building.  
• We will empty the boxes and record each submission.  

 If both hard copies and electronic submissions are required, the deadline for both will be the same.  

• The online version submitted MUST be identical to the hard copy.
• Submissions received online will automatically record the date and time of submission.

• Coursework must normally be submitted by 16:00 on the deadline day.
• Late penalties will be applied from 16:01.
• Exact deadline dates and times can be found in your course books.
• If both hard copies and electronic submissions are required, the deadline for both will be the same.

Late Submissions

If you fail to meet a specific requirement to pass the course but nonetheless average more than 40, your mark will be reported on EUCLID (MyEd) as FF (force fail). This means you have failed even though your overall mark was over 40.  

In these cases, you will receive instructions on what you need to do next to pass the course.  

Your Student Adviser or the Student Support Team can give you advice and support if you are struggling with your studies. 

Assessed work is graded according to the University's Common Marking Scheme
