Submission Window, Exceptional Circumstances, and Assessment Regulations  

You are expected to submit work by the submission date specified at the start of the assignment specification. Some assignments may support a 7-day window in which students can submit work late without penalty, and this will be specified below the submission date at the start of this brief. Any work submitted outside of the submission date (or submission window, where allowed) will be given a mark of zero.
