Grace Periods
If you experience unexpected circumstances before the time set on the day of the deadline and it results in a delay to your submission of less than four hours, you can request that the grace period is applied to your coursework submission.

Requests for the grace period to be applied must be submitted within 4 hours of the published date and time and no longer – we strongly suggest that you submit your request as soon as you have submitted your coursework. |
To request that the Grace Period is applied to your coursework submission, follow the steps below.
How to request the application of the Grace Period
1) Submit your coursework.
2) While still in the assignment submission page, click on the Late Submissions section to expand it.
3) From the 'Reason for grace period' dropdown list, select the reason that best describes why you are requesting the grace period and click 'Save changes' to submit your request.
