Extensions & Late submissions
All assignments are required to be submitted by the due date. If for any reason you are unable to do an assignment by the due date you must submit, to the lecturer, a request for an extension in writing before the due date (unless impossible) setting out in detail the genuine and exceptional reason for requesting the extension.

- that you were unfit to complete the assignment;
- the date of the medical or counselling consultation; and
- the period for which you were/are/will be unfit to complete the assignment.
Unless appropriate arrangements have been made, supported by a sensible and valid reason, late submissions will attract a penalty of 5% per day. If there is any doubt with regard to the requirements of any assignment or assessment procedure, the onus for clarifying the issue rests with the student who should contact the lecturer about the matter.
