Guidance
Submission of assignment work
An electronic copy of your assignment should be handed in, submitted via the appropriate link on Blackboard.
Late work
If you submit work late and unauthorised, a universal penalty will be applied in relation to your work:
- If you submit work within 5 working days following the published submission date you will obtain the minimum pass mark for that element of assessment.
- Work submitted later than 5 working days after the published submission date will be awarded a mark of 0% for that element of assessment.
- Unauthorised late submission at resubmission will automatically be awarded a mark of 0% for that element of assessment.
Late Submission of Work
Authorisation of the late submission of
work requires written permission. Your School is authorised to give
permission for one extension period of between 1 and 10 working days
where appropriate evidence of good reason has been accepted and where
submission within this timescale would be reasonable taking into account
your circumstances (Academic Regulations).
You should complete and submit an
extension request form, with any supporting evidence, to the C&T
Hub. Further information is available on the Student Portal at:
We aim to let you know if the extension has been granted within 1 working day of the receipt of the request.
If you are unable to submit work within
10 working days after the submission date due to verifiable extenuating
circumstances, you may submit a case for consideration in accordance
with the University’s Policies and Procedures on Extenuating
Circumstances (Academic Regulations and Assessment Handbook).
Extenuating Circumstances
Some students face significant events in
their personal life that occur after their course has started, which
have a greater impact on their students than can be solved by the use of
an extension. If this applies to you, the University is ready to
support you both with regard to your course and your personal wellbeing
through a process called Extenuating Circumstances (see Academic
Regulations and Assessment Handbook).
Normally extenuating circumstances will
relate to a change in your circumstances since you commenced your
course, which have had a significant, adverse effect on your studies.
Everyday occurrences such as colds or known conditions such as hayfever
will not qualify unless the effects are unusually severe and this is
corroborated by a medical note. The University does not look
sympathetically on absences or delays caused by holiday commitments or
by work commitments in the case of full-time students. The normal work
commitments of part-time students would not constitute an extenuating
circumstance. A disability or learning difficulty does not constitute an
extenuating circumstance (see Academic Regulations).
You can apply for extenuating
circumstances online via myUCLan. You must apply no later than 3 days
after any examination or assessment submission date. Do not wait until
you receive your assessment results to submit a claim. It is in your own
interests to submit the claim as soon as possible.
You will be expected to re-submit claims
for extenuating circumstances for each semester. All evidence that is
provided relating to extenuating circumstances will be treated in a
sensitive and confidential manner. Supporting evidence will not be kept
for longer than is necessary and will be destroyed shortly after the end
of the current academic year.
Feedback
Feedback (which may be generic or oral)
will be given to the class within 15 working days of the assignment
hand-in date. This may be done in the first 15 minutes of a lecture.
This will be followed by individual written feedback tying to the
Learning Outcomes listed in the assignment brief, together with any
additional helpful feedback such as areas of strength and areas for
improvement.
Plagiarism
During the induction and via your
student handbook, you were informed of the serious consequences of using
or attempting to use unfair means to enhance performance. This includes
plagiarism. The assignment submission sheet used for each assignment
requires you to sign to confirm that the work submitted is your own work
and that any information and material used has been properly identified
and acknowledged.
The University operates an electronic
plagiarism detection service where your work may be uploaded, stored and
cross-referenced against other material. The software searches the
World Wide Web and extensive databases of reference material to identify
duplication. For detailed information on the procedures relating to
plagiarism, please see the current version of the University Academic
Regulations.
Reassessment and Revision
Reassessment in written examinations and
coursework is at the discretion of the Course Assessment Board and is
dealt with strictly in accordance with University policy and procedures.
Revision classes for referrals will take place during ‘reassessment
revision, appeals and guidance week’ as marked on the academic calendar.
The mark for the reassessed module is subject to a maximum of 50%.
