Durham assessment submission policies

If i submit an essay, which is due at 15:00, at exactly 15:00, is this considered as a late submission? And also who should i contact if there are issues with submitting?

Hiya,

It wouldn't be considered late since you submitted it at the exact time, but, its highly discouraged to wait until the very last minute to submit assessments and is considered bad practice. Sometimes turnitin does lag or crash and it could cause you to submit it late and your mark capped. If there are any issues with submission, you can contact the TEI about it. 🙂

What penalties do you receive for submissions that were minutes late but not an hour late?

Hiya,

From 6.2.5 Penalties for late submission - Durham University ''Students who submit their summative assessed work late but within five working days[1] of the deadline shall be penalised by having the mark for that work capped at the module pass mark (note: this rule does not apply in the case of assessed work submitted late for a resit assessment - where work is already capped at the pass mark. Any resit work submitted late will not be marked, and a mark of zero will be recorded instead). The work will be marked and feedback supplied. The mark that would have been awarded to the student had the penalty not been applied should be indicated to the student.''
