What will it look like? (
before marks are
released)
Once you have submitted your coursework, it will show the provisional late submissions penalty
which will be applied
to your work after marking.
If you click the plus symbol, it will expand
to show
all the possible penalties, which time band your submission fell within and therefore which penalty applies.
What will it look like? (
when marks are
released)
Once your
mark has been released, if you received any late submissions penalties these will be shown.
To see a breakdown
, select the plus symbol:
| Category | |
|---|---|
| Penalty for late submission | The penalty applied as a percentage |
| Performant grade | The mark you would have received if there was no penalty |
| Pass mark | The mark required to pass the assignment |
| Marks deducted | The number of marks deducted (not the percentage deducted) |
| Effective percentage point penalty | How many percentage points were deducted |
Your grade (in the example on the right, 80 out of 100) is your Performant Grade minus the Marks Deducted.
Grace Periods
The University recognises that there are circumstances that may affect a students ability to submit exactly by the due date.
In these circumstances students may elect to make use of a 4 hour "grace period" after the Due Date.
Students must declare they are wishing to take advantage of this offer when they are making their submission and indicate their reason. This will also be available through the submissions page in Myplace (image needed)
| Info |

| However staff can revoke the grace period if they choose to. |
Late Submission History
Staff will also be able to view students late submission across other classes, if necessary. This is to adhere to the late submissions policy that staff should track students who are persistently late with coursework.

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.
