Student Attendance, Participation in Group Work and Late Submission

Attendance

You should aim to attend all lectures, seminars and other learning activities for your Programme.  Not attending could affect progression through your course, and ultimately, whether you have completed enough credits to graduate. This is particularly important if you are studying a professionally accredited course where full attendance is required. 

Your module and Programme leaders will provide further information about attendance expectations but they cannot grant authorised absences and should not be asked to.

Please refer to the Student Attendance Monitoring for more information regarding how to record attendance and what to do if you will be absent. 

Non-Participation or Less than Full Participation in Group Work

For some modules you may be required to take part in assessed group work. So that all students can be assessed fairly for their contribution, you will be required to submit evidence of your participation in the group.  Your module convenor will inform you of what this consists of and the marking criteria that will be used.

Late Submission

Managing your time to meet your deadlines is an important skill for success both at University and in future employment.  It is important, therefore, that you do your best to hand in all work on time. If you submit work to be marked after the deadline your mark will be reduced by 5% for each working day the work is late after the deadline. A working day includes working days within standard vacation times.  For example, if a submission date falls on the last day before the start of the Easter vacation, penalties would start to be applied from the following working day and not from the first day following the vacation.

If you submit your work more than 5 days late, your work will not be marked and it will be given a grade of zero

If you submit a piece of work late for a resit, the penalty will be applied first, then, this mark will be capped at 40 in line with the General Regulations on resits.

See the table below for examples.
