Submitting Coursework

You must complete assessments set for each course to a satisfactory standard and fulfil the learning objectives. 

Many courses use a combination of coursework and an examination to determine the final course mark. Coursework is designed to: 

• provide you with feedback on your progress,  
• enable you to develop skills that are not easily assessed in examination conditions.

How you will submit:

• For most courses you will be asked to submit electronically. 
• Occasionally, you will be asked for a printed copy. 
• Ensure that you understand the method for submission and submit your work in good time (it is not advisable to leave submission until the last moment).

• Each item of coursework will need to be submitted by a deadline - you will be given the date and time.
• If late submissions are accepted, late penalties would apply as soon as the deadline has passed. This would mean that if your deadline is 16:00, late penalties would apply from 16:01.

More information about late submissions

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

• Some courses require you to pass BOTH the exam and the coursework elements, so that averaging a pass mark overall will not necessarily be sufficient.  
• In some courses there may be additional requirements, for example, regular attendance (particularly in laboratory classes). 
• You may be required to produce some items of coursework as part of a group.
