Submitting your work

• You will need to submit your assignment through the course Learnonline site, using the correct icon as a link.  This includes your ePortfolio, and information about submitting this will be provided in tutorials. 
• Note that emailed work will not be accepted unless your marker requests a copy for clarification or if there are technical issues. 
• Do make sure you keep a copy of all your assessment tasks, as lost files or storage media are not considered reasons for late submissions. Making sure there is a complete, uncorrupted copy of your file will mean if there are problems with the submission you have a back-up.
• All assignments will be marked and moderated by the course coordinators and tutors.  

Extensions 

If you submit a request for extension through the Learnonline course page, that is where you will find the response to your request.  You will not necessarily receive a separate email.  Here is the official School of Education policy regarding extensions, which will guide any decisions made by the Coordinators about extensions.

Extensions will only be granted when: 
a) a "Request for Extension" has been submitted to the course learnonline site with the stated extenuating circumstances and these are deemed acceptable by the course coordinator. Do not make extension requests to the class tutor. 

b) the request is received a minimum of 2 days prior to the due date of the assignment except in unexpected or extenuating circumstances deemed acceptable by the course coordinator. 

Supporting evidence must be provided. Refer to  the Assessment Policies and  Procedures Manual (APPM, sections 7.3.1 and 7.8 to7.11 

Late submission of assignments 

Once again, there is a consistent policy for the School of Education regarding late submissions of work.  Here are the details:

Unless an extension has been requested by the student and granted by the Course Coordinator due to exceptional circumstances, assignments can be submitted up to three exact days after the due date and time, but will be marked from a P2 maximum grade**. Late submissions will not be accepted after 3 days. A zero grade will be applied.

**It is the policy of the Coordinators in this course to assign an automatic P2 grade to submissions up to 3 days late unless you contact us immediately when you know your work will be late and enter into a discussion of the reasons. Coordinators may choose to modify the late penalty under some circumstances if this is the case. Do not enter into a discussion with your class tutor about assessment submission.  

Re-marking

 Should you have concerns about the marking of your work you may wish to discuss it, and under some circumstances you may want your work to be marked again by another marker. 

A re-mark will take place under the following conditions;
a) the student will first contact the assessor concerned to discuss the original mark normally within five working days of the return of the assignment 
b) where the student is dissatisfied with the result of the discussion the student may formally request a re mark to the Course Coordinator
c) the Course coordinator will arrange for the work to be re-marked and communicate the new grade to the student. A grade allocated in the re-marking process is final, even if lower than the initial grade.
